Steering linkage/suspension issue

[Fishcharger]

Have a perplexing issue with my front end. It seems that the weight of the front end is sitting on the steering link and not on the leaf springs/shocks. When the truck is in hand the wheels are straight. When set down the wheels turn slightly. And depressing one side or the other doesn't just move the suspension it moves the servo horn. Anyone else having this issue?

It might just be normal bump steer that's inherent with leaf sprung trucks. It would help if you posted some pix or even a video so we can see.

Gotcha. Here's a pic. Let me see what I can do about the video.

So here a video of it. I slowed it down. You can see when I attempt to just flex the suspension, instead of flexing it just moves the servo horn. https://youtu.be/xmrnotWTq1I

Looks like normal bump steer in a leafed setup. There's no panhard to swing the axle in an arc as it cycles, so you get some bump steer.
