here is some info from my experiences on road wander....first are your rear bogie pins and bushings tight??....if loose the previous tires "wore" in a pattern from running crook-ed...the new tires are trying to track correctly and are squirming....

if the steering box is not "centered" you will get road wander.....the steering box is designed to run in a centered position and if not the internal valves are fighting against each other to find the true center....this is noticed by tugging on the wheel to correct your driving line and then the coach darts in the opposite direction.................

these are opinons and experiences of a country plow boy and not an engineer.........please take this post as such...
