Does the truck shake too or no?
Wheel bearings set properly?
Wonder if it needs another degree or 2 of caster?
@Heavyd is pretty good with alignment stuff if I remember it right. -

Almost like you have some bump steer or something. I’d recommend getting ahold of Chad at Alignment Solutions in KC. My 2017 579 was sort of like what you’re describing, and he put wedges in and it took care of it. My 2022 579 isn’t having the issue you’re having.

Is it doing it at around 40-60 mph only

Steering with one finger? It's a semi, not a BMW, us old farts drove trucks that shook so bad, you had to have the death grip on the wheel. I know, who cares, grandpa, I didn't see anything wrong in those videos, sorry.
Jed2009, Flat Earth Trucker, austinmike and 2 others Thank this. -
on a bumpy road, maybe yours is 'puter controlled as well, and it cuts back on the assistance so that you can feel the road, and have better control?
on smooth roads, again, you are going straight, the 'puter cuts back on how much assistance is needed, and what you are feeling is the ripples on the pavement..????
cuz after 48 years of the road like me, i do not "see" that much of an issue. -
