    Noticed in my 2015 while going down the highway, If I pull on the wheel slightly/quickly left/right, I can feel what seems like resistance for a sec then it frees up and feels loose, then resistance again…. Power steering fluid level is ok, what would cause that?

    Also just installed a Ironman stage 1 lift today and haven’t got an alignment yet, wondering if that could be the issue?

    Possibly the alignment, but they can check if anything is binding while they got it on the rack.

    I didn’t really notice it until today so hopefully that’s it. Alignment is getting done Tuesday morning

    I put their lift and UCA on, noticed the top of the tires of leaning inward. Will the alignment fix this? 8FBEC952-C356-4F77-8586-FBBF4D179ACD.jpg

    Yes, but you’ll really have to find a shop that knows what they’re doing with aftermarket UCAs. I don’t know much about alignments, but many on here do. Someone will have input.

    that’s likely toe out that gives it that appearance. It will eat your tires up. Don’t drive much till they realign it.
