I found that they will pull if set with the factory settings. By adding 1 degree of caster to the right wheel this can be corrected if it is pulling to the right and all parts etc are in good shape. Funny thing though Ford sells a special shim/bushing that fits the spindle assembly made to make this adjustment. UMHHHH wonder if they know this truck will pull if set to exact factory specs and decided they would rather make the extra $25.00 for the part. Naw,, never. Jim

My truck is going in for right side ball joints and front hub lube tomorrow. I have had this left side drift wander for awhile now. I will let you know what they find. I had the left side ball joints done last year. They replace the OEM crappers with moog.
