Thanks for catching my back side there....I was actually gonna go there but
had company knock on the door. I found the biggest reason for my darting
when I installed my monos leaf spring on the front. The stationary sided of
the spring, closest to the cab, actually had an oblong hole worn in the
bushing. Looked to be about 1/2 inch of extra travel, so when I would hit a
small bump with the right front wheel, the entire axle would shift causing
the dart. After replacing and getting an alignment---drives soooooo much
better.
