    So about a month ago I had about an inch of play that made interstate driving a bear back and forth to the city. I ended up replacing the lower intermediate shaft, rack and pinion, upgraded poly bushing, tie rods ends and the sway links. I got an alignment after it was all said and done. Then a few days later my steering was still straight but my wheel was off to the right by 5* or so. The shop recentered it for me and went about my business. Fast foward a month later and at times the steering wheel will be off that same 5* but not all the time. Sometimes it will stay centered. Anyone ever felt with this. It drives straight either way but still it's like a wtf when it's not straight.

    This happens to me, also on my 07 Ttrd offroad. Are you running larger tires or a lift?

    No everything is stock, trying to hit the basics before adding. I been reading and what sounds like after doing some searching maybe the steering wheel position sensor. The steering feels loose intermittently, one trip it feels solid and tight then next pretty loose. Hopefully I can get some feedback on this. I hate to throw more parts at this and it still not resolve. Bout to take it to the stealership, I'm at a loss.
