Started to wander at around 40,000- Put on an 06 track bar-BD Steering Stabilizer which stabilized the problem-still drove like an elephant, but did not wander--Just put the new Borgeson box on with new tie rods ends at 210000-took the BD stabilizer off DRIVES LIKE A NEW TRUCK!!!

My 99 has pulled to the right since I got it. I've tried to get it corrected, but I'm always told that it was designed that way. After 170,000 miles it's time to rebuild the front end. I have finally found a someone who says he will fix it, once I've put the new parts in.

Next I get to look for new leather for the steering wheel, left side is worn out.

No loose steering?

If you have a 4x4 and don't have steering wander you must be very nice to your truck. Those stock parts just don't hold up to lots of washboard roads, bouncing over boulders or bumping into anything.

2001 with 85,000 miles, still drives as straight as the day I bought it, very little wander. Never rotate tires and have no cupping or uneven wear. Original track bar and steering components. Installed a steering brace when new and keep everything well greased. Changed steering fluid to synthetic when new. No offroading, shes a pavement princess set up for towing. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones with no problems.

98 12v 4x4. New tie rod ends, new tires, drives better but not perfect. My wife refuses to drive it. Fine by me.

97 2500 club cab, 4x4 with 180,000 miles. No problems with steering. Replaced ball joints and shocks at 150,000 miles due to normal wear. No re-alignment, no track bar, nothing but ball joints and shocks. PK

2001 2500 Sport Quad Cab : Not a wandering problem just that the steering is ridiculously tight i replaced the steering box to match the steering shaft i already replaced and it got worse i am pretty sure its the pump though. Thats my next move.
