Hello everybody, i have a problem with the chasis of my K5:

When i turn then steering wheel to any side, the front part of the chassis twirls.
I think this is causing a steering problem: when i try to go straigh on a highway, the truck tends to go to right and left. In order to keep the straigh way i have to constantly correct it moving the steering wheel.

I am attaching a photo indicating what twirls on my truck. The truck of the photo is not mine, just as a reference.

Somebody told me that is happens because that part of the chassis has been heated in order to unbend it, and consecuently it has become weak.

What do you think?
