Could be a tie rod, either inner or outer. Have you tried an alignment? I am sure one of those three places has at least checked it?? I would think at least. Try this one time, jack up one of the front wheels using the lower control arm just enough for you to comfortably get you hand under it, say maybe 3 or 4 inches? And i say by the control arm because you want to keep the suspension under load or mimic it sitting on the ground. Grab the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock and quickly turn the wheel back and forth. But only a wiggle and somewhat gentle see if you notice any play or looseness. If you do then its one of the tie rods on that side. Do the same thing at 6 and 12 o'clock and see if there is any play in the ball joints. And both again on the other front wheel (front only). Beyond that you might be looking at a power steering or suspension issue.Atif Naser

I think this is a common thing too. It is not too bad to fix yourself. I have had it down a bunch. It is something to make sure you fix imho
Dropping the tank is not a big deal at all as long as its like below 1/4 tank. Just 3 bolts on the straps and 3 on the filler to car. i think that about it. Just be careful and you will be fine -
I actually saw a group doing this and was totally amazed.

I've tried 3 different Michelin truck tire shops within a 100 miles of home, which is as far as I'd want to drive for new tires, and all three said they couldn't/wouldn't want to sell used 6-7 year old tires to anyone. One said they just never had any call for them, another said no one but RVers use the RV sizes and no RVer would want slightly weather cracked tires even with 1/2 tread left, and the last one said due to the liability factor he never sells used tires (who knows what they will actually end up doing with them). I'm going to keep one of the six for a spare but guess I have to just junk the other 5. They are XRV 255/80 22.5 with 44,000 miles on them so they may all three be correct.
BendPak lifts, good or bad?
