Lately, my 98 D1 has been drifting to the right. It does not pull to the right like when braking, but if I'm driving in a straight line with the steering wheel straight and let go of the steering wheel, the truck drifts to the right. It also shimmies a little side to side.
The ball joints for the drag link had some play in them, so I replaced those yesterday, and it still drifted to the right.
Today, I swapped the front wheels, and now the truck drifts to the left. The tires show wear on the inside tread. Also, there is some dampness on the bottom of the steering box, and pitman arm.
Is it safe to assume with todays test of tire swap that the tires are the culprit? They are the original Michelins.
Thanks
