2004 F150 Steering Issues
It just started happening to my 2004 f150 STX 4x4. The problem is, the steering sticks when you start your turn and will not self center when exiting the turn. If you try to let the wheel slide through your fingers when exiting the turn, the steering sticks and you have to exit the turn by turning the wheel. Does anyone know of any safety recalls on these? Or, at the very least point me towards what I need to replace (I tend to fix most issues myself)?
Thanks!
Edit: I just checked the tie rods, CV joints and ball joints...and everything was nice and tight with no visual issues. When turning the wheel while stopped, you cannot simulate the problem. It is only while moving AND turning that this occurs.

Check the U-joints (or rubber equivalent) in the steering linkage.

i am having this same problem...(05 lariat scab)
turning the wheel difficulty is between normal steering and when you have no power steering. Starting to get real annoying, i looked at all my ball joints and steering linkage and can not see anything that looks worn, going to a garage tonight
