When your Freightliner FLD SBA starts feeling loose in the wheel or drifting on uneven roads, that's your steering system asking for attention. Over time, heavy loads and long miles wear out key components like tie rods, drag links, and pivot tubes. Replacing worn steering parts helps restore control, improve handling, and keep your truck tracking straight. Steering issues can sometimes be traced back to tire, wheel, or brake problems rather than the steering parts. In such cases, consider replacing warped
Freightliner FLD SBA brake rotors/pads.
