front end wandering
The tires are finally taking a toll on the front end. It has a severe pull to the right, while driving. I have rotated the tires just to eliminate the possible of the tire causing the pulling and checked all the air pressure. Can anyone give me a good place to start with?

My first experience with a wandering frontend was with my 1978 Bronco and every Ford 4x4 after, the factory suspension is NOT designed to take huge tires and a lift kit. The bolt that attached the front panhard rod to the axle enlarged the hole in the gusset of the axle and the fix was to weld the hole smaller and re-drill it. On my 1998 F150, I discovered the steering box was wet at the sector shaft cover. The locknut for the adjustment was loose causing the leak. Tightened it an 1/8 of a turn and half of the looseness was gone. Check the tightness of EVERYTHING on the frontend. Might even consider a couple of steering dampners, this helped alot on my 4x4's.
