And it might just be the pick but it looks like you have quite the lean. That could be an issue. If its not just a funny pick then your track bar is off or your steering is off. For the track bar measure from the shock to out side of the tire. I put a 2x4 up to get a good measurement. It should be = on each side. For doing aliments I tape a string on the back tires and run it up to the front and make sure they are both straight. Don't get a good use for duck tape often but its a good one.

as soon as the steering wheel turns, even a half and inch, then is your pitman arm moving any? how sensitive is it? how much play?
