Default Steering Wheel Keeps Tilting Left
So, 4.5 inch lift, HD steering, box is spaced and braced, etc. Wheels are aligned, no shakes or shimmies going down the road. However, every time i get an alignment (4x now), the steering wheel wont stay centered. IT makes its way to the left every time. Is there something up with my steering box?

Are you saying that it pulls left ? Have you tried moving the tires around to see if it is a tire pull ?

no. Alignment is good. Just the steering wheel. When I get a fresh alignment. Wheel is straight and centered. But over time it tilts left.

Is the tie rod adjuster next to the steering box loose ? Or is there something going on with the track bar?
