You can upgrade the linkage bushings to Polyurathane and add these edelbrock IAS.

I run just the Edelbrock and my truck corners like a Porsche.......... No problems here!

Well I seem to be having this issue and have had it for a long time of the durango feeling like it is going left or right when hitting bumps in turns. Its pretty dangerous cause it makes you want to jerk the wheel when it happens. Is there a fix for this? Is it a worn part or suspension? I have a 2000 Durango 5.9 4x4 slt with heavy duty towing package. 150,000 miles now, factory shocks and whatever else under neath it. Could be time to replace some stuff. Doesnt bottom out htough when going over speed bumps.

Look into the following:

Shocks

Tie Rods

Maybe Ball joints?

I know the Tie Rods if slightly bad can cause a slight pull. Shocks are the same.

Great so after that the Tie Rods then when those are replaced you'll need to get a 4 wheel alignment too. I am about to replace my Shock/Ball Joints, Tie Rods. Wheel Bearings I hope this year it might not happen till Spring though but I do have a wearing out Tie Rod which is why I am doing it all while it is off plus I need to replace those boots in the front also they are starting to wear as well. Replace the shocks while I am under there too.

i would start with the shocks, pretty sure that will help the problem (mine used to do what i think you are describing really badly, we changed the rear shocks and its much better now)
