I have had a slight oscillation on high speed bumps coming out of my new to me this spring 2015 CCSB 4x4 (42000 miles). I thought it was the OE tires out of balance as they are showing some wear, but I wasn't too concerned as I planned on replacing them anyway this fall. Turns out I have a leaky shock on the front.
Lesson learned...I had read the threads about people replacing shocks on relatively low mileage trucks, but I questioned that a bit as I've never really had problems on my 2001. Turns out...you need to check the obvious sometimes. Anyway, I've got new Rancho RS 9000 XLs on order.

Good ideas, I'll check the hubs and end links while I'm putting the new shocks on.
The shake is really small and wouldn't be noticeable by most, but I have tried to chase it down. I thought at first that maybe it was the steering stabilizer so I put a new Bilstein 5100 on in July...no difference. Then in August, I took it into the shop, explained the shake I was feeling, and had the tires rotated and balanced. No difference again. You would have thought the shop would have noticed the blown shock....but then again...I didn't notice either.
