death wabble
well my truck has been parked for months now cause i bought a stang awhile ago. I put my truck up on the hoist to check my front end out. (it used to have really bad control driving) i grabbed my tire and it shook really easily. in both directions, up, down and sideways.
now i thought if you could move it up and down, then its tie rods, and side to side it would be ball joints. i dont see any play in either of them when i move it. it almost seemed like the lug nuts were really loose, but that wasnt it. i switched my 2 front tires and wheels around and still happens on the one side, so its definetly not the wheel.
could it be an axle u-joint? any other ideas?

Ball joints.
Lift the truck where the tire is an inch off the ground stick a pry bar under the tire and see if it moves up and down. If it does it's the ball joints.
I had the same problem 2 weeks ago and it was the ball joints. Both sides of mine were bad but well worth the repair and it was alot easier than I orginally thought it would be. Here is a link from when I had the problem read the whole link there is a bunch of info in it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=331176
