I had a 1989 Ford Falcon and mostly didn't have a loose nor wandering issue until I installed new Michelin LT tires from Costco. Immediately the van was wandering left and right. Eventually I installed Michelin XPS Rib tires and all was good. As the vehicle approached 85k miles, the steering felt loose and I was having to constantly correct it. Long story short, the steering box was shot and a Ford rebuilt was installed and that took care of all the looseness.
Didn't really feel that the rear springs were shot but I installed Helwig helper springs on the rear to bring the back up a bit and noticed an improvement in handling.
The next thing I did was to install a Helwig rear sway bar and it really helped the handling a lot. After all this was done,we decided to buy a new rv and had to sell the Falcon. What a shame!
