The big problem with class A's is NOT steering wander but "Wag" I am old enough to remember when they first came out with "independent Front Suspension" on pick up trucks.. Before that Pick ups had solid front axle like a motor home..
What is the advantage?
Leaf springs allow the vehicle to move up and down relative to the axle, of course, but what most folks do not know is they also allow it to move SIDE TO SIDE.
Now imagine the rear moves right while the front moves left. then they swap, the front moving right while the rear moves left.. Kind of like a dog's tail wagging.
This is WAG
How do you fix it: Track bars.. I am told that a REAR track bar (on your ford I'd go with ultra power's) is most effective but I put a Davis on the front of my gasser (Workhorse) and .. Well. very effective. I may do the UP later on the rear.
These "Lock" the body in position, side to side wise. Very effective.
