Tacoma Bob. I doubt the shorter pitman will cure your wandering. I would check that the pitman arm is tight onto its shaft coming out of the F100 Box. Next I would remove any play from the pitman arm end and the tie-rod ends, then set the toe in and go for a ride. If it still wanders much I would recheck my setting on the F 100 box itself. Also if you are running 21 inch wheels and tires, they do follow groves in the road. Just the nature of the beast. That is the main reason I am using the 600 X 16's on the ground. They are less apt to follow a groove, wider tires.
