My truck drifts driving down the road since I had the new kingpins put in 3weeks ago.Also have a clicking noise that is most obvious when driving around curves. Steering wheel feels fine it is drifting due to something in the front end. Have too many opinions on the problem.(steering box,improper installation of kingpins,tie rods)?I need help extremely bad!
