Re: Need New Front Axle....Dealer Says?
I don't buy the bent axle story. Even if the axle is bent, it's not connected to the steering in any way. I've broken a handful of halfshafts in my old Chevy, but never did they affect the steering (not full-time 4wd either though). Did they check your idler arm and pitman arm? Could also be a bad wheel bearing or balljoint or tierod end. Double check you're tire pressures too, just to be sure. But I'm having a hard time believing that you bent a cast aluminum housing, (seems to me that it would rip or tear first) let alone that it's what is causing your steering troubles.
