f150 pulls to the right
my 1993 f-150 pulls to the left once in a while and when you steer to the right it wants to pull that way ,,but it doesn't happen all the time ?????? help
front end seems to be pretty tight as far as the tie rods and upper and lower ball joints was wondering if a bad power steering pump would cause that effect

the power steering pump only assist the steering gear in making the steering easier. The steering gear itself can have wear spots in the gear shaft bushings allowing intermittent uneven gear lash to occur. This kind of wear would only be present if the vehicle saw a lot of rough road use and/or oversized tires. The lower steering shaft coupling is housed in an inverted cup just above the gear and has a seal to protect it from road junk. Check to see if the cup has play or the seal is broken. LMC Truck.com has these parts.
