truck wonders to the right

Latley i have noticed my truck wants to wonder off to the right the tires are wearing fine and i don't think it's a brake issue anyone have some idea's.It's a stock 05 truck/103,000 miles on it.Just wondering what would possibly cause this? thanks

Most roads are crowned to the outside, so any worn steering parts will cause the vehicle to wander to the right. Ball joints, the steering gear box and tie-rod ends are always the usual suspects on these trucks.

My truck has wandered to the right slightly since I got it with 14k miles. My tires wear perfectly, so I never worried about it. A lot of it is road crown, but I read on here years back that the solid axle design of the 4wd is prone to a slight drift to the right because of cross caster issues.

I found a loose tie rod end and replaced it helped a little, then a friend of mine said it might be a radial tire thing but my tires looked to be wearing fine but he said switch the two front tires Lto R and R to L and that pretty much took care of the problem merv
