97 PSD slight pull to right
Group
my 97 F-350 PSd tracks slightly to the right, I need to keep the steering wheel
on an angle to go straight.
The truck has 250K on her. SHould i check tie rods? Or Steering box?
Or what?

I agree with torino, most likely something in the front end. Check you tires for wear on the edges, that will be your first clue. All else fails, there is a problem that we call tire pull. For some reason a tire "pulls". Usually only show's it's self after a rotation. Firestone doesn't consider this a warranty issue (used to work for them) but I'm not sure about other manufacturers.
Quick reference: Camber pulls, caster pushes. (see tire wear). Idler arms tend to give out before 75k, but most people never notice. Tie rods, about the same.
If it makes you feel any better, mine does the same thing. Just afraid to have someone put in on a rack. $$$$
