My mechanic set my alignment to Ford specs, but it still pulls to the right. He gave me a song and dance about the IFS arm being longer on one side than the other, and with mud tires, it vibrates to the right. Also said it is designed to "drift" away from oncoming traffic incase I fall asleep.

I have to hold my steering wheel at about a 30 deg angle to keep it on the road.

Could it be somthing in the steering box or in the pump?

I think I will take it to the Ford dealer next week and see what they say.

Anybody have any suggestions?
thanks

It could be a radial pull.

Try switching the front tires left to right. This normally gets rid of a pull like that. If it doesnt work make him do it again, or go soemwhere else.

 

I've found that 85% of pulls are due to radial pulls. Alls this means is a cord or bunch of cords are out of shape inside your tire, causing it pull on that side. Try MnvlMat's suggestion or swap it to the rear.

for instance if it pulls right, change the right front to the rear, or to the left as MnvlMat said.

What size are your tires?

 

My tires are doing this, it used to pull to the right then i rotated them and it pulls to the left.

 

I just switch the front tires. I dont bother with the back.

 

this is why I rotate them to the rear. Take that LF and put it on the rear. Dave, you have 33" radials right?

 

my tires are 31 10.50's they are the cheap ones from big o. I will be gone for a few days, but I will let you know what I find out. thanks for the advise.

 

It looks like it was a radial pull, but switching tires around didn't help it a whole lot. The Ford dealer put a part in which moved the left front back a little so it drags behind like a shopping cart wheel. It fixed it. I wish my mechanic knew about this part, would have saved me time and $.
thanks for the input.

 

They put in a caster/camber bushing.
That means your mechanic didnt feel like setting your caster/camber.
