Steering problem

I am having an issue with my steering that I can't seem to track down. The truck will randomly pull to the left. It is not a constant pull, it almosts feels like gusts of wind pushing me to the left. I just changed the drag links and the issue is still there. If I crawl under the truck and hold the drag link or pitman arm, I can feel a clunk when the steering wheel is turned back and forth. There must be slack somewhere but I can't find it, any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem taking a corner it then starts pulling that way, a quick jerk of hte wheel and then it seems fine, chasing mine as well.

i would look at the 4x4 hubs. my money says you will find your answers there.
have either of you put or had the P/O put aftermarket hubs on these trucks?
