That's right, there's nothing like a long wheelbase with short rear overhang, PLUS the front end loaded to the limit axle-weight spec PLUS a couple of additional degrees of front suspension caster,.....in order to realize good directional stability. Either believe in the science of it, or not.
I would first try loading the front end to its maximum load capacity of the front axle, THEN install 2-degree shims to increase the castor(that's how you adjust castor on the F-53 with leaf springs). Also, make sure the toe-in adjustment is correct. You can do all this yourself,.....I did (back when I had a Vectra on a F53 chassis.
