What could have happened?	Sign In

Not sure as to what my husband did, but tonight he left in his truck and then came home without his truck, and said it was right up the road and he went off the road and got it stuck, so we took the tractor to pull it out. Afterwards he told me to drive the truck back and he would take the tractor back. I tried taking the truck but every time I would turn the truck to the right to get on the road the truck would go left, so he got back in and kept messing with the truck and finally got it to the house. Why does a vehicle go one way when you turn it the other way? I also noticed when we got back home that underneath the truck there was something hanging to the ground close to the front end of the truck. It was dark and I could not really see so I am not sure, but I am pretty sure it was a part of the truck. Could any give any info as to what could be the problem? Thanks to anyone who can help me to figure out what could be wrong.

You didn't say what kind of truck it is but doesn't really matter...

Sound like he hooked up the the steering linkage & broke a tie rod end.....

Easy fix.... replace all the bent/broken parts & get it aligned.......

Thank you so very much for the info. He has been talking about getting an alignment for a while, but we have not been having problems with the truck until now, but maybe we can get new parts and get it aligned and have it running good. Thank you
