Lol. Thanks man. I see what you mean and not spend any more money, but here is the thing. I installed my lift,rims and tires 5 weeks ago all at the same time and I put the tire psi at 40. I checked my tires the other day and they are all still at 40 psi. I don't think that tires not changing there psi on me is causing the wondering steering. Thanks for the help though

We set the left at 15 I think. The computer wanted it at 20 and the overall toe at 25 I think. Hope those are the right numbers I was looking at LOL

I chocked it up to tire wear and what not. After the dealer told me they fixed it - the drive home was back to normal with no "getting blown by the wind" feeling any more.
Right on. I'll have to look into that. Thanks

I finally got to cheek mine out today, mine started this last week too.

I run 28 lbs in the tires. And the castor is at -7 degrees. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the ball joints.
