Default Over Steering

Occasionally my truck seems to oversteer into left hand turns. Feels like the right front wheel seems to dig in. Had an alignment inspection done and everything is perfectly aligned. Any thoughts on cause and repair?
Thx

That sounds like understeer. Oversteer is when the back end starts coming around.

How many miles on the truck? 2WD, 4WD, stock suspension?

Just a guess but possibly a bad front shock. A weak shock/strut can allow that corner to tuck in a bit and make the truck behave strangely in a turn. Depending how bad it is you might be able to see oil leaking down the shock.

I can help with new OEM parts if you need anything.

Thx Steve. I'll have a look at that shock.
