Toe-in is set at 1/16 to 1/8. have it checked.
You do have oil in the steering box?
Have you greased the upper bearings on the Knuckles lately?
Are the knuckle steering arm and steering arm round balls still round or have they worn oblong causing a bind?
Have you loosened the steering tube clamp at the dash and steering box bolts to allow the box to reset from sagging cab insulators to eliminate excessive friction/binding?
Are drag ink and front knuckles lubricated or are the knuckles getting dry?
Are your front springs in good shape or are they sagging distorting the caster angle?
Some members of the forum have added shims in front and have experienced some improvement.
