I have had just about every part worn or trashed on the front of 2 rams & never had a DW issue while having the caster set at 5.0 or greater.... the 2nd gen ram had 34" tires, 3rd gen had 325-60-18's that weighed a ton.

Humm!!!! all i know is that the line on the cam that is on the right and left side is at about 11 o'clock or one line back from the top...

Did you try replacing the track bar bushings? You can get the a two pice kit from napa for about 30 bucks. You will need a press to push the old ones out.
