Hi All, I have a strange problem that just occured. I have a 2004 Ram SLT with 59,000. The truck now pulls big time to the right and I have a weird twitch in the steering wheel. As I roll about 2 miles per hour the steering wheel will twitch to the right and come back and keeps repeating. It's not as bad at high speeds, but now the steering wheel vibrates and has a bad pull to the right. Don't hear any strange noises and the steering still seems to be fine. I attached a video of me driving about 2 miles an hour with no hands on the wheel. Any ideas where I should start? Brakes, steering box, tires, fuel line??? Thanks in advance!

 

Video didn't attach.

I would be looking at wheel bearings, or cv joints on the right side. Jack it up, turn things by hand, see what you find. If it all feels alright, turn the wheels slightly, and try spinning things again.

 

HeyYou,
Thank you. Video is now attached. The second video is the right one. Thanks again!

 

One thing I have found is that when going forward the wheel twitches to the right. But when I go in reverse the twitching is now to the left. So I don't think it's the bearings.

 

Yeah, I think that's gonna be a bearing.... but, I would expect a bearing to make some noise if it was that bad....... Jack it up, and inspect. Take a look at the boots on the cv joints as well.

 

Yep I agree. Another possibility is a seized up brake caliper.

 

I think a caliper would present a different symptom, and the pull would be constant, but change with brake pedal.

 

Any pulsing in the brake pedal? It does sound like a bad bearing, bad CV joint or a rotor problem. 80% probability of it being at the R.F. wheel.
