This is by memory way back, but I recall lengthy conversations about the kingpin bushings wearing out in someone's truck and it causing issues. The problem is that discussion was about 3-4 boards back and I don't think it was saved. Some other of the members may be able to recall it better than I, but the person pretty much replace/fixed/measured everything else and it came back to those kingpin bushings being worn out and the truck couldn't run true. I can't remember if they found new bushings or replaced the front axle with something else.
And can you please clarify improperly indexed brake drums? From what I understand, the drums were set and balanced to each axle. Not putting them back the same way can cause vibrations. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's a great idea to punch indexes so they go back the same way.
