Default Steering issues again?

Hi guys,

I need some advice. Here's the story.

My truck used to drive great. Very comfortable easy to drive. Then I noticed my PS fluid leaking. So I took it to my friendly neighborhood Dodge dealer and they installed new hoses. Good news is the leak stopped (for now) The bad news? The truck steers "heavy".

The best I can explain. If you don't pay attention, the truck will drift to the left. Not a hard pull, takes maybe 100ft. But it isn't normal. You find yourself constantly correcting the steering. It seems to take more effort to make small corrections too.

I drive a few highway miles each day to work. I find myself being tired of driving alot easier than before. The truck doesn't seem to settle in and cruise.

Does this make any sense? What are your thoughts? Would those hoses have anything to do with the alignment? I wouldn't think so. I haven't hit anything. I've been driving mostly highway with a short country road to get to the highway. This started after they put the hoses on.

And the PS fluid is full.
