[QUOTE="rightway, post: 1611833, member: 42493"] I think the steering deficiency being described has a name, at least before all the upgrades. It's called "[SIZE=4]Tramlining[/SIZE]" I hope I don't offend any Raptor members by adding information from other sources. [INDENT]These are my notes taken from past post readings and they may have come from the Raptor and for sure the F-150 Forums [SIZE=5][B]Tramlining[/B][/SIZE] = Vehicle that’s wondering and following imperfections (for example ruts, groves) in the road. [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]This describes many causes [URL]https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=47[/URL] [/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] One of the excited successful F-150 fixes that I noted was, [B][COLOR=#006600]re-calibrating the electronic steering system[/COLOR][/B] and also the comments from members after they saw the fix. They were indicating because of their unsolved steering problem, they had already traded in their vehicles, I assume dealer's not knowing of the fix. This is another reference from my notes, may not be really helpful.
