[Richard and Rhonda]

I would love to tell you there is a simple answer. First, you have to determine if any of the suspension has play in it. Wheel bearings, king pin joints, control arms, tie rod ends, pitman arms, steering gear box, and the u joints in the steering column.

Get is safely jacked up and blocked. Then start and work your way through the system. A long pry bar and the biggest channel locks you can find will be your tools. It helps if you have a dial indicator and a magnetic base. Put the indicator on the part you are testing and try to move it with the pry bar. The indicator will tell you if it is moving or not.

If I didn't want to go through all that, and just wanted to test the most obvious, I would check the toe in. Set it to 1/8 inch and see how it drives. Most truck alignment shops will set it up at neutral or slightly in. They hunt the road like a coon dog when set up neutral.
