Steering wanders
Not sure how to explain it but here it goes. My truck has no mods on her. I find on the highway that I must keep correcting the steering wheel to keep it straight. Does not pull to either sides just kind of wanders slightly. Is there an adjustment in the steering box that I can do to tighten the wheel a bit?

I had the dealership replace the steering box on mine at about 50k. It made it better but not like it should be (IMO). I have heard that re-head steering boxes are better.

my truck did it with new 235s it did it with new 285s and now it does it with 265s. I tried to tighten the box up once it helped a little but got back to the same.In turns its tight but when going straight you are back and forth on wheel to keep it in lane
