Unhappy 1993 F150 alignment problems

Anyone had problems getting thier alignment correct? I have a 1993 F150 XLT short bed w/5.8L. I have had it aligned 2 times and it still will not steer correctly. At about any speed when I go to make a "correction" on a straightaway, the slightest turn of the wheel causes the truck to weave as if I had over corrected. At low speeds this is not too much of a problem, but at highway speeds this makes the truck feel very unstable and hard to drive. I thought that maybe the rearend had slid over or something but it measures out centered to the frame. I did notice that the frontend seems to be offset to the right. The toe is correct as far as I can tell, and I don't see anything that looks bent. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you checked ball joints, tie-rod ends, etc. That old a vehicle some are bound to be worn and if they are, you can align every day of the week, and it still will not be right.

Red face Everything looks good

I had it aligned 2 times at a local shop. I have checked all ball joints, bushings , linkage etc. and everything seems tight.
