    Noticed my truck tends to drift both ways when driving at highway speeds or when driving on bumpy roads, and my steering is always crooked even with brand new front end components, along with wheel hub and beerings and a spot on alignment. The drifting only happens in 2wd though, could it be worn joints in the cv axles? Didn’t replace these though, cleaned them real good and packed them with fresh grease and new boots.

    those struts do not look new.

    Also maybe fill your outer tie rod ends with more grease.

    Control arms aren’t stock, they’re brand new Moog arms.

    Didn’t mention changing the struts . The ends seem to not want to take anymore grease. They started leaking through the boots and the fittings the same day I added more grease, changed the fittings and they would still leak. Didn’t bother adding more after they stopped leaking.
