Mega carrier truck the chances are quite high that they popped the steering wheel off and turned it to correct for Road crown or a driver complaint. This happens a lot with those trucks.

Thanks for the insight. Hadn't calculated in the whole Mega-stupidity factor LOL.

Forgot to also mention ---

Turn it to the hilt one way all the way using a whole lot of strength and pull really hard (with about everything you got, like you want to break the steering wheel) while yanking the clutch out a few times backing up in a parking lot bobtail. This to forces the poppet valves to open, re-adjusting them to the hard stops. - Do this a couple times in both directions each while backing up, does not work when moving forward.

- Does it re4ach its hard-stops at consistent opposing angles? - or is it off the same amount when you do this too?

- Also drive it after and see if it pull one way or the other differently. - This could be a sign that the poppet valves might have been leaking internally, seen that before.
