Yes, a steering box brace helped my truck's road manners 15 years ago because, as the poster above has noted, the frame twists under side loading and causes a slight wondering and torque steer. Since then I've replaced the ball joints, 4 links, Mopar Unit bearings in a big upgrade; new replacement Gen IV tie rod, drag link and shock @ 150K miles. If you are sold a new shock alone, it has very little value and only points up a problem somewhere else; like when you get the death wobble. A lot of the wander in older Dodge trucks can be traced to ball joint wear, which is endemic on the Gen II, Dana 60 Dodges, and can lead to negative camber, poor alignment and difficult steering. Steering woes are a direct result. Most Dodge/Ram owners just drive them into the ground as it's only a niggling problem on the surface. The power steering box does not get very high marks either on the old ones.
