I haven't looked into why it does this, the only thing I can really think of is tyre pressures. What else should I be looking for? |

I was going to say bent spring but then realised you havent done anything to bend it in months :p. It would have to be the tyres wouldn't it? Loose u-bolts, shackles, bent steering rods and just about everything else I can think of would give the death wobbles, not just left pull. |

Far out every time I post something up I just get smashed for being a web wheeler!!! 
I'm going to try the tyres first and see how that goes. Maybe it could be bushes? |

sorry Damo
1st, jack the car up and roll the wheels around to see how free they move, and compare them to each other? possibly brakes, or wheel bearings? |

being solid axle it would be hard to call it an alignment problem unless the housing is bent, even if you had no bushes in one side it would still drive straightish I think all sierras need the passenger side hub bent to give a little negative camber, that would fix em

I ran with no hubs for a while  so I know it's not the hubs. Shocks are good too
