<VV> steering wander at highway speeds

[N. Joseph Potts]

Alignment (four-wheel).
     If that fails, put more weight (spare tire) in the front. If that
fails, switch to 14-inch or larger tires (did a lot of good for me). I've
heard a chin spoiler helps, but when I took mine off, it didn't seem to make
any difference. I use one because it's stock on my car.
     What does DCOE40 mean?

Is there a good way to correct or reduce any steering wander at highway
speeds? At 70 my 65 can wander around quite a bit. I find that I am
correcting the steering constantly, ESPECIALLY IN WIND! I have never driven
a late model with the front spoiler, does this help? I am contemplating the
steering dampener Clark's sells. Any suggestions? I swapped out my steering
box with one that is much tighter, put on a new pitman arm bushing, and
checked for any slop in my tie rods and idler. All seem to be in good order.

Thanks
