I've replaced all the tie rods, ball joints, lower control arms, rag joint, etc.

When I'm on the interstate doing 60'ish, I sometimes have trouble just keeping it in the lane for how much it wanders. When I stand beside the truck w/ the hood open & not running, I can turn it a good 30 degrees, if not 40. That's when I grasp it below the rag joint, so that's not in play.

I've tightened it up all I can. Am I correct in thinking I need to save up my pennies & head to the local auto parts store??? Is there anything I'm missing?
