As most of you know I did a new axle, steering, etc a few weeks ago and since then the rig has been tough to keep going straight on the highway. I dont think its the caster angle as it returns to center pretty easily, but it just changes direction without the steering wheel being turned or anything. Tie rod ends possibly?

hows the angles on your trackbar/draglink, are they for the most part parellel? (mounting point to mounting point)

If you keep the wheel straight then you have slop in the steering. Check the steering box for slop and work your way down.

angles are all good and everythings tight, it was my alignment... my tires were noticably toed OUT. Now of course I get death wobble any time I even look at a bump.
