    Do you experience this issue in Safe Mode? (Launcher -> Support tools)

    Yes, it’s in safe mode, I’ve had this issue too. I think it’s something with the ‘Offroad Steering’, because whenever I put the ‘Offroad Independent Front Suspension’ (the only steering option on the ‘Offroad Independent Front Suspension’ is ‘Offroad Steering’) on the D-Series, it veers to the side. This only happens when the ‘Offroad Steering’ is equipped.

    I tested it long ago and it seems like the more weight you put on the rear axle, the more it pulls to the side, super weird

    If you are talking about the leaf spring axle, that's just the way they are. You can align it perfectly on even ground, but once you give it some throttle or change the weight distribution it changes the geometry. Leaf spring axles go straight up and down so when the axle moves that movement also translates to the drag link, unlike a 3 link with up, down, and lateral motion which will keep the drag link somewhat in the same place.

    this actually makes a lot of sense. I tried to fix it on the adjustments, and it turned out roughly okay on lower speeds up to 50kph...

    Just keep in mind, just like in real life lifted solid axles SUCK on road and at high speed. It will never be perfect, just be happy we don't get death wobble in game.

    Never knew that... but I was watching some american videos on trucks, and people say the same thing you do about them.
