Have you checked steering box for wear? Also, a longshot but you might have a slightly bent frame. It does happen. In context, the 3500(s) had tall tires and radically different road feel than a car with 13, 14 or 15 inch wheels and tended to feel like they were wandering when in fact they were not. I had two (a '91 and an '02) and they both tended to feel mushy on the road-especially if they were loaded and in the right lane of an Interstate used by heavy semi traffic that wore slight channels in the road. If you feel unsafe have all front end parts rechecked including sway bar and stabilizer arms and also check for free play on steering box and loose or worn steering shaft. If these check out live with it. It's a Dodge, not a Ferrari. Mark

89 Nissan steering wheel shaking and pulls to the right while driving?

You probably have a bad rt front tire. It may be low air pressure, lost wheel weight, or alignment. The low air pressure could make it pull to the right, and so could a bad alignment. Lost wheel weight and/or alignment could make the steering wheel shake. Think if you hit a large object, a pot hole, or ran over the curb for example this could tear the alignment up and cold weather will reduce the air pressure in your tires as well as a nail.
