try setting the toe to + 1/8 inch. only takes a tape measure nad a helper. with wheels pointed straight ahead pick an exact spot on the tread at back of tire on both ends of tape and measure then go to the front and measure, adjust till front is about 1/8 inch shorter measurement than the back. if toe is correct then like Chris said maybe have some caster added. stock caster is only 1/2 a degree compared to 4 plus on cars. the reason they have 0 to 1/2 caster is tomake steering easier at low or no speeds and minimal caster drastically reduces wheel whip (aka bump steeer) off road.
