what does the link above have to do with this thread?

[leekyraj2]

do you still have the OEM steering stabalizer? the factech one works great. its cheap and you probably need one anyway. super easy install.

I added the link because wandering steering can be a problem in any part of any item within the front end. The trick to find it.

A bad ball joint and bad wheel bearings can certainly contribute to your problem. Have you looked at your tires closely? Any uneven or excessive wear? This can also be a huge factor in how your truck will track, especially on uneven/grooved pavement.

I would suggest replacing the parts you describe and possibly your tires (rotating may also be an option) if they are worn unevely and then get a good alignment.

Ive just put a new set of fronts on. The old ones were wearing on the insides. Ive had the alighment done. But to be honest i dont have the correct figures to work with(If anyone can give them would be appreciated) The guy doing the alignment work done it to what he thought best using the laser tracking gear.

Well the bearings will be going on this week along with the ball joints. I will see how it goes then.

If you have play in your steering you probably have worn tie rods or your steering box has play in it.

I just went through this with a Dodge Diesel. The bad ball joints will cause it to pull.

Wandering is either warn tires and or a combination of warn tires and a bad steering box and tie rods.

I went through these parts twice on my 06 diesel so I sold it.
