I can’t say on a Power Wagon…I mean I never really drive mine a long enough distance that it’s particularly annoyed me however no matter what vehicle, if the caster is at 1 degree…it will drive Terrible & this was normal pre 1995ish. I wrote a similar report a few years back regarding a Dodge First Gen I got sick of fighting to keep it in a straight line. I’ve owned 20 of these trucks & they all drive like this…sure enough Caster was at 1 degree & that’s the spec for a 93 W250! I don’t install wedges in the front of vehicles…not good. I had the spring perches milled 3 degrees & it was like I was driving a 2024 3500 all of a sudden with no noticable difference in hard steering. I’d never ever again drive a stock truck after this mod. It’s the best modification I’ve ever made on any truck still to this day.
