Pastor Jim, that’s a classic case where a steering stabilizer like the Safe-T-Plus # ST98MR makes all the difference. It applies equal hydraulic force to return the wheel to center after bumps, keeping the driver from constantly correcting.

It’s a simple bolt-on and doesn’t interfere with normal steering. Once centered, you’ll notice straighter tracking and less driver fatigue on long routes. How long do you normally drive in one shift? Do you go on the highway a lot or mainly in town?
