Thanks for the heads up. Will the truck develop this problem, or do they have it from new? I test drove an '06 Ford with this issue brand new. My truck has not had it yet.

eh... max caster... fixed it for my 2000 with the same front end setup. had lots of worn parts on the front and still NEVER got it after doing the alignment with max caster.
I do have to add that I had poly control arm bushings which helped keep the front end from moving. is a really good mod if you have access to a press.
