Lately the steering wheel has been very shaky and loose. The truck also moves to the left very badly (probably alignment?). But after I make a turn, the steering wheel does not return to the correct position smoothly, instead it does it in 'jerks'. There's been plenty of new potholes around here because of the snow plows, and I've hit more then enough of them I think to cause an alignment issue, but could there be other factors involved, such as ball joints or tie rods? I've never had anything on the front end re-done, since the truck only has 55,000 miles (owned it since 48,000). It's a 99 XLT 4.0
