Steering feels tight turning left, soft turning right

[jman307]

Howdy! 2019 Laramie 4x4 Sport CCSB OEM wheels/tires 3.21 rear. Just picked up the truck, May 6 ‘19 build, 3 weeks ago new and have 1700 miles on it now. Everything works like a champ except that the steering feels off. On straight aways it has a slight right drift. When I input left it feels tight and recenters confidently when I release pressure. When I input right it feels soft and a bit sluggish to return to center or I have to help it somewhat. It is not a good feeling. Thoughts on the culprit or just take it to the dealership?

Did you get any ideas or fixes from the dealership? I have a constant drift to the right as well, even after they checked the alignment three times. Have never owned a vehicle that drifted immediately upon letting go of the steering wheel, unless that vehicle had an alignment issue.

Believe it or not, my tire pressures were about 8 psi high per tire. Brought them down to 36 psi ea and drives hella better now!

Yeah, don't know why the dealerships inflate the stock 20's to 44psi when it says 36psi right on the door jamb. I've brough the truck in several times now and each time, they jack up the psi and I have to bring the pressure back down. And let me tell y ou, there is a HUGE difference in road feel between 44 and 36.

Glad you got it resolved. Unfortunately, mine is not as simple as the PSI is equal all the way around. That’s one of the first things I checked and had to drop it from 44 to 36. Truck is back in the dealership for a third time now for the rightward pull. Probably the fifth time I’ve had it in and have owned the truck for less than a month.
