truck wanders (still, just not as bad).

It seems like I have had everything replaced, and these bushing are the only thing left, unless I`m missing something else ?.

I recommend doing your own alignment. Use the old string/chalk method and get the toe to zero. No alignment shop does this and usually screws it up much worse. This is old school tech and their million dollar machines cannot align it correctly. I had a shop try three times to get it right until I did it myself. Perfect. I then swapped the rear tires up front and it tracked perfectly straight. This was with worn out tires too so try it before you plunk down on a new set.
Also, even if you don't witness movement in the steering gear, it can still be loose internally once moving under pressure. Only way to tell is get a quality rebuilt like Redhead. But do the alignment first.

Look into the Rock solid ram steering upgrade. It's mostly for the clunking that occurs on these trucks, but it would make the steering wheel feel tighter. http://www.rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/

Be aware that Redhead doesn't do any quality control testing, so your brand new steering gear might leak right out of the box. If you're paying to have someone install it, you may have to pay twice.
A buddy of mine experienced this, and Redhead told him (in so many words) "sucks for you, man".
