Just Curious- our 01 leaf sprung Ford takes a mile to turn- but Ive never had issue unless trying to make a U turn? (I dont like to jump curbs with camper on).
I thouhgt that was one of the advantages and reason for changing front suspension of the newer Fords- tighter turning radius.
Ford has 3 types of steering,
Leaf sprung trucks, old body style or SD, that turn like the titanic.
Coil sprung trucks that turn great in comparison to the leaf sprung trucks.
And f450 f550, that make the coil sprung f350/250 feel like they turn like leaf sprung trucks.
Tighter turning is also great for being able to jack knife a trailer and make tight maneuvers with less room around you.
