Need help with my 65
What are the signs of needing a front end alignment?
My truck wonders every once in a while? What should I do? |

The truck usually wanders when I hit bumps in the road (paved) and at high speeds (55+ on freeway). If I am driving slower it drives straight but if I hit the bumps at low speed it still wanders (not big bumps). I don't know where to begin but I want to feel a bit safer driving it around.
Thanks 65 swb 454 350t |

Definitely sounds like worn parts. I'd start by checking the slop in the steering box, Pittman and idler arms, and go out from there. I suspect you're going to find the steering box has lots of play in it.

Alright, sounds good. But how do I check that? Do they need to measured or just try to move them around by hand? I know I sound really stupid but I have never done any suspension work before.
