    Bump steer is very common on these trucks. Add a little caster to smooth it out...otherwise just hold the wheel. I'm on 35's and it is worse than yours...especially when offroading hard.

    I’ve been told it might not be Bump steer? It’s been really hard to diagnose. Does your bump steer happen to same way? Mine is completely fine when the road is smooth

    Yup, looks the exact same as yours. Typically bushings and ball joints means you turn the steering wheel and the tires don't turn. Bump steer is when the tires make the steering wheel move.

    That's normal for my truck as well but also on 35s so it's a bit more exaggerated

    My truck is stock though. I’m going to test drive and see if I feel the same feedback

    That’s what I thought bump steer was too but I’ve been told that’s not what it is
