Extended shackles - If you have fitted longer shackles to the front your caster will be out. This causes wandering and lack of wheel centering. You need to either rotate the knuckles or fit caster wedges. The 31's wont be helping either.

Id start by gettin a pedders check done and get their print out. this way you could check the readings against what they supossed to be.
Mine wandered a bit so i adjusted the toe in and fitted a better steering box and a bigger damper. It helped a bit but the play in the ball joints in the steering arms are causing some scary ammounts of wheel movements to get around corners.
New steering arms for a WT sierra from Suziworld are only $250.
Money well spent considering most these cars are about 20years old and still using original factory arms.
