I have a 1969 F-100, V8, with manual steering. It was in mothballs for a few years and now I drive it daily. My problem is that when I drive straight ahead at 60 mph I have to steer slightly to the RIGHT to maintain my course. I thought that if all steering components were correct you should steer slightly to the LEFT to maintain a straight ahead direction. The pickup has had radials for the last 25 years and I never recall having to steer RIGHT to drive a straight course.

Yea, it has been several years since I drove the PU so maybe I forgot what manual steering is like. I have over 1,500 miles since I began to drive the PU again and no irregular tire wear can be seen.

My problem is: Me, and my memory or ?????????
