Truck wanders on road

Had this same thing show up after 7 yrs from single and build. 

What was once very little play in steering box went to lots. So replaced box and re-allighned. It was the original unit and had served its duty  

Was night and day. The toe had also gone  neutral. 

Forward 3 yrs later started to wonder again. Everything still tight and ok  

Rechecked alignment and needed an adjustment. Now like a sports car and holds straight. 

May not be your situation but thought I’d share.

Mine also was like herding cats. 

Each thing that I have done has helped.

previous owner (10 ponies) put on a very good steering stablizer  

Proper grease job helped, new shocks, new tires made a big difference and the latest was the valves on the front air bags. 

This truck finally steers like it should

Also been tempted to install the Donovan valves in front air bag lines.

 

This seemed to make a big difference for me
