2005 xlt 4x4 108k when there is a light breeze or in windy conditions my truck feels like the front end is getting blown all over the road, I have followed trucks similar to mine and they don't seem to have any issues, it looks like im drunk cause I'm fighting the truck to stay in my lane, I work at a auto shop, all front end parts are tight and have had normal alignments done. I just don't get why the truck wants to wander soooo much.

What I'm trying to get across is the slightest wind seems to push me all over the road, an it's getting annoying.

As far as I understand, that's normally caused by improper tire pressure, soft suspension, and worn out suspension parts (like bushings, springs, shocks etc.). I could be wrong about any of that though.

I would have the "toe" alignment checked. Sounds like it might be inner or outer tie rods.

I just had an alignment done like a week ago, all ends are tight. Front struts are original but not in terrible condition. Truck feels like a feather in the wind lol

Tire pressure is @ 40

My first thought would be tie rods, but if you say they're good then it's not them. If the struts are okay as well, the only other things that could contribute to the sway are ball joints, upper/lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings and end links. Take a look at each of those to make sure they look normal.
