no..suggest you start with all the steering components..check them all. Does the truck have a lift on it?

What kind and size are the tires.

Shock...how many miles on them? Steering stabilizer?

I'd check all the ball joints/tie rods and hubs and then the shocks. If you just bought it any chance there is a bit of a warranty?

are the shocks the stock Rancho Branded ones with the fake plastic boots? If so, I'd replace them immediately after you determine that everything else in the steering is in good shape. I'd also add a dual steering stabilizer.
