I know we have threads out there but I wanted to have some input on the characteristics of my wandering issue. I put on RAS and a Hellwig anti-sway bar. I've hit some hellacioius holes--it does not move so I think the rear steer deal is mostly whipped. The ball joints are supposed to be new. I put new bushings on the front anti-sway bar and put on a new steering stabilizer. The tires are at 45 all the way around. I tightened the steering gear to the point it probably goes back to 90 percent center on a turn. Using a level, camber looks a little positive--zero perhaps if the lower side wall is bulging much but I am measuring close to the rim. I have that bit of center play in sthe steering. As I drive down 2 lane MT highways which tilt all over the place from winter distortions of the asphalt, the X will sometimes track toward the shoulder for instance. If I do a little correction-not much happens to a point. When I hit that certain point, the steering is REALLY responsive--as in it acts like rack and pinion--can almost make it rock sideways with a moderate amount of steering. So basically it like not much movement then a hell of a lot. When it really makes a jump it is hard to get it back quickly with the side to side rock--like over correcting one way and then the other.
I haven't checked the tie rods. She has 83K miles on her. Also, it drives better on the highway in 4WD than 2WD--steering feels a llittle more uniform.

Does this dial in anything specific for anyone??

 

DANG: Good job checking it out & giving good info. Wish I could be of more help with the cause but new front H/D MONO TUBE shocks might help a little with the roll your describing. Don't know about the steering gear you adjusted in the X BUT my experience with steering boxes is THEY CAN BE TEMPERMENTAL and your problem might be there. Have you owner many 7000 LB trucks on mushy springs ?? They tend do drive a bit different. Are you having any abnormal tire wear?? If it's in the budget a set of V code springs sound in order You can tell wife an expert internet mechanic said that you need them

 

I say your tire pressures are WAAAY too low. Do you have load range D or E tires?

Without my plow I run 62psi front, 60psi rear. Plow on, I run 65 front and 62 rear. Need to have load range E tires, if you do not have them yet.
