Ok guys I'll try my best here to explain what I'm experiencing, now I've had pitman and idler done with wheel align I was told everything else was fine but hey I'm sure we've all been told that only to find its not lol, but any how ok so I've got the infamous clunk whn turning and such it went away briefly once pitman and idler was changed then came back not sure what it is, but when I'm driving the truck won't stay str8 it wonders mainly to the right but left also my wheel I have to hold to the 12.5/1 o'clock ish now the wonder isn't a hard pull its jus like I'm constantly adjusting my wheel to compensate the wonder and lane drift its freakin driving me nuts I just need to kno where to start lookin I've also been told my align is good and there's no tread wear signs to show otherwise and tires have about 3.5/4k on them....

Maybe your steering box is going?? Mine I think maybe is doing the same and my alignment shop tightened it up but said it's probably going to do it again and that the box might need to be changed if it does it again.

Well what kind of shop are you getting it aligned at? Lots of shops to a close enough alignment. You need a dead on alignment. Also jack the front end up, make sure your steering wheel is locked, and turn your tires left and right. Check which parts move and which dont. A little play is okay, but it sounds like you have quite a bit. Also the gear box will wear out, I believe there is a bolt you can turn to tighten it back up some. Google for it. I have seen how to's on it. Be careful though because you can damage it if you tighten too much.
