    Are you able to drive the truck in 2WD? Did you damage your truck offroading? I am glad no-one cut you last night.

    @Jimmy 123 My guess is you bent a half shaft, and as it rotates the low side is pulling the wheel in, making it turn. Or if you steer, it causes the wheel to turn.

    Makes sense in my head, can't figure out how to word it. From diff to wheel, bent. Fix. No cut. Good.

    I'm not seeing what you want us to see in the video??? Can you explain it verbally? I'm not seeing how the truck turns when you are holding the steering wheel straight.

    Read my reply. Pretty sure you bent a half shaft.

    So, it only does it when the driver wheel rotates, right?

    Edit: Nevermind, I see it now. It does it when it rotates at a certain point. Yeah, something inside is bent and the "shorter/tighter" shaft is pulling it towards the side that is now shorter.

    Only thing I can think of. No way the steering can rotate the wheels. Leaves me with bent axle shaft.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    What does the other side look like if you take the wheel off?
