Hello all. Bought a 2004 mack granite from Rhode Island last year and the steering had some play side to side. fast forward to this year and the steering box developed a lead and the play got worse which made the truck drift side to side. My drivers finally told me about after they refused to drive the truck. I brought it to the mechanic and he sent the steering box out to be rebuilt. got the truck back and still all over the road. I took truck back and he discovered the king pins were shot and the toe was out a half inch. I got the truck back and it is much tighter, but has about three inches of side to side play in steering wheel but overall a huge difference in the right direction. The truck is still hard to keep in a straighten line on highways and constantly have to make corrections. the mechanic said the floaters are worn a little because of the toe and that may be causing the issue. Do you guys think this could cause this or do is the alignment out of whack.
