Front end suggestions
Took the truck on a 8 hour trip to the beach pulling the 5ver. It was pretty windy on the way to the beach so I thought the random movements where related to the high winds. Now during the trip back it wasn't as windy but now the truck felt like I was hauling a really heavy load and had minimal control of the front end. The camper wasn't loaded any more than it has been in the past 3 years and I have never had the truck feel like this before. So once I got home and parked the camper I drove the truck to work and the steering felt about the same. What would be the first thing I should check, visually everything looks OK.

1st thing I would do is grease the pitman arm tie rod ends and anything that is greasable... Still bad, then check the ball joints (lift tire up and rock top to bottom/back and forth). Then wiggle your tie rods.

Steering
My old man just changed out his sterring box. It's was better then just revealing it.he says that the sterring got tighter. And he is big on greasing all the joints as be a truck driver
