2008 Dodge Ram Wanders
I will try to keep this as short as possible. My truck is a 2008 Dodge Ram/Cummins 4X4 quad cab. The front end is tight and has been recently aligned. The tires are 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT "E"....

My 2007 Ram also wanders a bit requiring constant slight correction when on the highway. Done this since new. At the time others on forums had stated similar experiences. I had the Dodge dealer replace the steering linkage with the newer design found on 2008+ rams. Much heavier tie rods etc. Didn't help.
Others on forums have stated that Dodge's typical alignment settings have too much camber causing the wander. I don't know much about that sort of thing and have yet to have a shop adjust it different than Dodge specs. Anyone confirm this issue?
You want to put more castor into the front end not less to fix wander. I'm a drag racer so I want the most castor I can put into a front end. The more I have the more stable the car is going in a straight line.
The problem with doing this with your truck is death wobble. The more castor you put in the front end the more of a chance of death wobble showing up so you have to hit a happy medium.
