Leveling Kit Problem

Hi all, newbie here to the forum. Was hoping someone could help with my problem. I had a Rough Country 2” leveling kit as well as a Rough Country adjustable track bar installed a week ago. My problem is once I recenter the steering wheel it will remain for about an hour and then it starts drifting off center in either direction. Nothing is loose as far as I can tell. Any ideas how this could be happening? I’ve read somewhere else that you need to remove the battery cable and let the computer reset the steering angle sensor after any front end alignments...I’m currently at a loss after adjusting back to center three times in three days. BTW, I have a 2020 F250 4x4 with the 6.7...only at 1100 miles now.

Adaptive steering?

Negative on the Adaptive Steering.

(Update) I took it back to the alignment shop that installed the track bar for me today and they said the knuckle on the axle end of the track bar had a little play in it. The Rough Country track bars have a grease fitting on that end and I did notice that the grease was coming back out the fitting when I drove it...which I thought was odd. Maybe that was it, it did make sense. They reinstalled my original stock track bar and I guess we’ll see. Rough Country did agree to send me the drop fitting that I didn’t know about originally and credit me on the track bar, so I may try that in the future if I can’t live with the tire sticking out on the drivers side ~ 3/4”
