A complete front end check is probably warranted. I would check the leaf springs/bushings and tie rods ect.

^^^^ Is right^^^^

I would stop in to the local alignment shop and have then take a quick look.
I don't know but some places will do a safety check for free or under $30.00

That would give you some ideas on what is happening.

If you are taking the dust cover seals at the end of the shaft. They have updated those to a newer design that seems better.

You have to pull the wheel/hub assy to get to them though.

Thanks senix! I pulled all that off yesterday so it shouldn't be a problem
