When I make a right-hand turn, my steering wheel returns off center about 30 degrees. If I then make a left turn, the steering wheel returns to a correct center position. If I make two right turns in a row, the steering wheel moves off center 30 more degrees. After several right hand turns the steering wheel will be in an upside down position. One left turn will correct it. What could be happening? Thank you for any help.

First off, I don't have an answer for you. However...
After 7 or so years on this forum, I can safely say I've never seen this problem come up.
If you find an answer, I'd be curious to know what it is.
Thanks.

Hey Buzz, My steering was going crazy, but I did find an answer today. It was worn rack bushings. When I took off the brush guard, pieces of rotten bushings showered on me. Installed new ones and steering good now. Thanks for your interest.
