Unsafe!! Steering does not work with brakes applied. Steering binds up and can not be turned when brakes are on. Can't parallel park, make u-turn, or back up for boat or camper. Steering will not turn in skid. Steering is sloppy and truck wanders from side to side on road. Bumps and ruts throw truck dangerously from side to side. Steering does not center itself. It is a constant battle to keep the truck going straight. Constantly correcting from left to right.
