My truck was used as a 5th wheel towing rig in a previous life (if only he knew what it could do now!!!) and I am wondering if it was coming practice to change the front coil springs on the I beams to get the correct wheel camber when the added wight is on the truck. Possible it hauled a camper in the bed as well so that would put even more weight on the front.
I ask because the front wheel camber is off slightly with the bottom of the tires being closer together like so: \---/. I'm thinking this could be contributing to the poor return to center and strait tracking on the freeway. I sort of got used to it, but others are finding it challenging to drive it. Frankly I wouldn't mind if it steered a little better either.
Front end components are all tight except for one factory king pin that has about 1/8" vertical play but is otherwise tight and does not rock and swings easily. Other side was the same and has been replaced with little improvement.
Is there anything that can be done to correct this problem?
Heard of bending the I beams, but would rather not do this.
