Generic Steering Question

Recommended Posts

I did not know where else to post this but I realised something interesting today.

If I turn the wheel at standstill the truck rocks in the opposite direction of the wheels turning. For example if I turn left, the truck leans right, and if I turn right, the truck leans left. Is this normal on a Pathfinder? Or is this a caster alignment problem? Quickly turning the wheel left and right I can make the truck rock side to side. It looks funny from the outside but not sure how much this is going to impact my steering. Before anyone asks, no the shocks are NOT blown.

Found the problem. A wrong taper on the pitman arm was causing the joint on the center link to fall in putting the center link at a slight angle. Changing the pitman arm fixed the problem.
