That would be an all-too-typical FORD I-Beam front end. Or nearly any live axle / recirc ball 4WD pickup . . . the difference between those and the IFS + rack & pinion on mine (and some others) is night and day.

Both CUMMINS and KENWORTH recommend getting this minimized as corrections per 100-miles is a quantifiable FE problem (trailer movement is problem enough, IOW).
