Steering column feels good as does the rag joint. With the vehicle running, I can twist the input shaft and everything looks solid.

It's hard to tell if the truck was ever in an accident. I bought it from the original owner (fire department) and it had 12,000 miles on it when I bought it. Looks straight and I don't see anything obvious that is bent.

The steering has been an issue from day 1 and I have been replacing front end parts left and right that probably didn't even need to be replaced!

This is a great discussion on caster - probably one of the most informative for 4x4's I've seen. Thanks for your continued help - hopefully this thread will help others as well
