I got my truck stuck in snow this weekend while in Wyoming. I was climbing a hill in 4 high and lost forward momentum and while trying to get out, the tire eventually dug down until the frame was touching the ground. I was turning the front tires to gain traction. There were times when it was tough to turn left or right. Now it looks like the steering wheel is slightly to the right while the truck is going straight. I have not looked underneith the truck yet....but, what do you all think that I did? I read about weak tie-rods... Do you think that this would be enough to cause alignment issues? Did the steering wheel move? And if it was one of these 3, does it sound like a warranty issue or does this go into the I did something really stupid and I need to be the one to pay for it folder?
