Steering Issue

[kbrehbay]

I have a 2004 Expedition 4x4 with 92,000 miles. The steering seems to feel a bit stiff especially to the left and it does not return smoothly when coming out of a turn. Antone have any ideas as to the cause? Im thinking taking it to the local dealer may cost me BIG bucks

have you had the alignment check both of those conditions can be caused by caster being out of spec

might just be a bad tie rod, cheap and easy fix
