Steering Issue

Started having issues with the steering on my e99 yesterday. After taking a freeway on ramp (a hard left loop) at higher than normal speed my truck started pulling to the right. After I got home and checked under the hood I noticed the fitting circled in red was leaking a some clear fluid. When the truck completely cooled off, I took it around the block again. At first everything was alright but as the truck warmed up it started pulling to the right again and I also noticed that it would pull left when I was on the brakes....

I am kinda a newbie so I dont know much about these trucks... Any Ideas

The fitting you have circled is an air conditioning fitting. If you had the A/C on, the clear fluid you saw was probably just condensation. Start by checking your tie rod ends and ball joints for play.

Interesting, definitely did not have the A/C on but that is a different issue... Are all the Ball Joints were replaced last year, I will check tie rod ends for play. Thanks for the response. Any other ideas
