Check your lug nuts, check your tie rods, check your suspension bushings.

Did you get an alignment after replacing the tie rods? If so, did the shop reduce the caster angle? The more positive your caster angle, the more the steering wheel wants to return to center.

Now vehicle won’t return to center after turns while driving. I’ve replaced the struts, ball joints and control arm. Could a misalignment be the reason

I don’t know. When was the truck last aligned? If you can get a print out of your most recent alignment, that may help. Not all alignment shops have the same equipment, and some shops are more accurate than others. If your alignment is within factory spec, that should not be the issue.

Double check your tire pressures and make sure you’re rotating your tires according to the manufacturer’s schedule. If you have a use case which puts more wear on the vehicle (e.g. towing, cornering at high speeds, or rough roads), consider rotating your tires even a bit more frequently than recommended by the factory.

Newer tires all the way around, proper inflation, no steering wheel vibration, no play, no L/R side pulling. One tire, RF is showing more wear on inner AND outer edges. Alignment says it’s good. I’m stumped…and it has less than 5k miles

Depends on the shop. There are some very good and trustworthy shops out there.

You never know what they’re doing to your car when it’s in the workshop!. I sometimes think they splve one problem, and deliberately cause others!. I absolutely hate having to take my car into the workshop, and wherever possible avoid it!
