Exclamation Front end Wander

I have a 2002 F350 7.3 with only 182,000miles, have had the front end rebuilt, new gear box, alignment and new tires. I STILL have front wandering. It scares the H outa me and I cant get a straight answer from any of the shops as to how to fix/correct this...

What was the caster angle after the alignment? +5 degrees seems to be the target for these front axles to cure the wandering.

First place is to post up your alignment numbers.

Do you have a lift, or aftermarket suspension? Any aftermarket track bar mounts or pitman arms?
