    If it wanders all over and never wants to go straight and you find yourself always steering it. It will be a caster issue .or lack of. Put some angled shims between the axle and spring pack.
    I'm willing to bet your front axle has almost 0 caster . Look under your truck , the axle shoukd have a slight rearward slope to it.

    I'm finding that when I steer hard right (standing still) and then steer back to the left, I hear popping sounds coming from the gearbox and then it will drive right for 100 miles. I'm thinking poppets, internal leak, or automatic air bleeder. I backed off on the sector shaft and the steering loosened up as far as centering itself. I think I had over-tightened it. Freightliner wouldn't sell me a poppet service kit.
