I have a complaint about my 99 Ford f350 super duty 1 ton pickup. The steering of this truck sucks! I have had it to the Ford garage in missoula, mt and they said the steering had been set up too tight and that it was now set to factory specs and it still isn't right. The garage said that they could replace all parts in the steering and it still wouldn't make the truck handle good. What's with that?.
