Usually happens when your front-end caster is off. That can be caused when lifting a vehicle that has a slid front axle.

One of these days I'll figure out how to post a pic of my magazine cover Sami.

NOT

With the 31" tires, trying to tow the Sami was impossible. The front wheels went Helter Skelter. I even tried to lock the steering wheel with enough play to make turns, but NO WAY, it sucked.

Exactly...caster, lift type (i.e., SPOA), tire pressure, etc. Check out petroworks.com. They've done 100's.
