2001 Ram 1500 real bad pull
Hey, I've got a 2001 ram 1500 ext cab 4x4 that's had a whole new front end put on it, upper lower ball joints both sides, all new tie rod ends, new stabilizer arm, new connecting links, new steering box, everything. The tow is 0 on the drivers front and 1/32" on the passengers front. yet the truck has an insatiable desire to go right. it's been re-aligned several times and still no better, i've had it to several different Dodge shops and they can't see anything wrong with it. Also, 3 days ago, the new steering box (put on 2 weeks prior) blew the gasket out the bottom and 2 of the moog links needed to be replaced (all where 2 weeks old).
What can be causing this truck to chew through these front end parts so fast and what could the cause of the truck always wanting to pull to the right? If the frame is twisted shouldn't the alignment machine pick that up? after all it does use very precise lasers and such to tell the machine exactly where the tires are..
thanks for the input and suggestions..

RE: 2001 Ram 1500 real bad pull
I'll go for a short drive in the morning, i guess another way would be to just check the air pressure in both before i leave and go for a good drive and check and see if one has more pressure than the other when i get back, they should both be the same with equal heat expansion to both i'd think unless like you said ones getting hotter than the other..
