Is it on the freeway? Long sweeping turn? Or a more abrupt turn like into a parking lot?

Ball joint, tie rod ends, drag link..... Look for loose joints. Bite the bullet and fix them. LOT's of cars and trucks come in to various shops around the country on the towtruck with separated joints and very wide eyed drivers.

It would be a good idea, to lift the truck, remove the tire anc check for wear. You do not want it to break on you in the middle of no where.
