Do the advice below with a helper. If the steering box is not bolted tightly down it will cause that too.

When your helper is there get out the tape measure and check your toe in on the wheels. I normally get 2 equal length blocks and place them on the floor up against the rim. Ideally you want in the center of the rim but normally something blocks you from that. Lay the tape on top of them to the edges of both rims. Repeat in the back side of the rim and see what the measurements are. I put the front side 3/8 - 1/2 inch smaller than the backside(Toe in)

I have always set up my rigs this way and thought if it wandered or tires started wearing funny I'd take it to the shop. I have never taken one yet so I'm either REAL lucky or this method works pretty well ;)
