The "wondering" steering is a full-size Chrysler legacy for 30+ years. I say full-size Chrysler, as the steering box that was in my 1972 Imperial is the same box that is in my 1998 Ram 1500 2WD. Of course, your tie rod ends could be worn out, that would cause some wondering. The way to tell if it is your steering box or a worn component is to check for irregular tire wear.

If you have ruled out worn steering components and the wondering bothers you, there is an adjustment for it. Get a FACTORY service manual for information on the adjustment (for you own good, don't fool with an aftermarket manual). It is rather simple with respect to difficulty, but if you over adjust, you can ruin your unit.

To increase mileage on the Rams, try an after market cold air intake by Spectra (a little cheaper than K&N, but just as good). They also look good under the hood. Amazon.com has them for 149.00.
