2000 Dodge Dakota Steering wheel slips

I would have the rack and pinion unit checked out to see if it has any problems and I would also check to make sure that the tie rod ends are tight and the the jam nut it tight. Thanks and let me know what you find.

I first called the shop that did the alignment. They also said it sounds like the rack & pinion, and that it might be covered under a mfg recall. I called the dealer and described the problem. They said it sounded like an issue that happens very occasionally with alignments. They said it sounds like the control arm didn't get tight enough and that some of the shims may have come loose or even out. I brought it back to the place that did the original alignment, and they had to redo the alignment. Sure enough, it works great.

Great glad to hear it. Every once in a while as we are human we forget or over look something. Thanks for the update, if you need anything else just ask.
