'84 would be ball joints. Jack the truck up and give the front end a good shake down. Grab your tires from the top and bottom and see if you have any play. Then try from side to side. Finally, check all steering linkages.

truck roaming, is that when it is not in it's normal area of operation? Do you have to pay it more when it's roaming?
