I've got a95 Dakota, pretty much stock with only 88k on the truck. I replaced my passenger side ball joints and had my transfer case rebuilt a while ago and I've had problems with the steering binding ever since. Binding meaning, sometimes when im turning left and coming out of the turn, the steering wheel will pull hard right. The only thing you can do is turn right and than back to the left. It's hard to explain, but any help will be appreciated.

 

I have no idea. Maybe the ball joints should be replaced on the driver side?

 

Are you sure its not the steering gear box? Do you feel any slack in the steering? It sure don't sound safe to drive.

 

Is definantly not safe to drive. I replaced my steering great box about a year and a half ago. Could it have gone bad again? My steering use to be extremely loose till i replaced the passenger side hub and pitman arm. Still some play, but not much

 

Better description of what's happening. When i turn left, i usually let go of the steering wheel and let the trick straighten itself out. On occasion, the instead of going strait, it will want to turn all the way right. If you grab the steering wheel while it does this, i can hear the passenger tire trying to grab. The more i think about it, the more i think my gear box is bad again. But i want opinions before i go spend another few hundred on one

 

Is it possible you were given the wrong Hub or Pitman arm? If they are not matched or suited to the use they could be causing your problem and if the box is bad that too. If you got a used box it may have been closer to its death than you knew.

 

The pitman arm was the same drop and all as i took off. But the gear box was a rebuilt, so that is a high possibility
