Update! Took the truck for a few mile ride on the county highway at 50mph and on some county roads between 20 and 40mph. Switching the tire stopped the pulling significantly, however it still wanders off to the right. On a empty stretch of road I drove in the left lane, and found the truck...

Well just got back in. Here is what I found: I used a pry bar between the dog bone/torque rod bushings and the points they bolt to. I did the test specified in the TMs and used a 3ft bar and pushed it 6 inches at the end. The bushings did not move much at all. I also checked the spring seat...

I am swaping tires right now. We shall see!

The tires are bias ply. The left side I'm running a Titan, and the right a old Denman. I have been running Denmans and Goodyears on the left because that is what I have. The tread depth is matched, but perhaps brands are different. I have 10 near new condition goodyears, but don't want to run...

I do not know exactly when the axle got new oil and the bearings were greased. Probably several years ago. I tried moving the tire side to side to check the tie rod ends, and I could just feel the tire flexing on the rim, and the tie rod was moving the opposite tire a little. No clicking or...

Ok I went out again and I can slightly wiggle the dog bones by hand with a lot of force. I see a very subtle movement. Don't know if that is normal. It seems like a worn kingpin bushing would cause the tire to wear on the inside according to my research. I am also wondering if the truck pulls...

I am going to try switching the tires. By removing the hub cap I can figure out of a bad wheel bearing is slowing one side down?

The right front wheel has a slight leak of some fluid under the boot. Don't know if it is gear oil or brake fluid. It is blackish brown. Kind of smells but my nose is plugged from allergies haha. The left wheel is good.

The tires on the truck are 9x20ndts. Would a slightly different circumference cause pulling? The bushings on the dog bones seem good. They don't wiggle when I pull/pry on them, although that might not be the right way to test them.

Over the past few years my truck has been pulling to the right. It seems to be getting worse, but is hard to tell. I did a alignment and found that the front was toed in 3/8, so I put it back to 1/8. I also changed out the right front tire to one with less cupping and more tread. The left front...
