I'm going to guess ball joints. But not sure, always state if it's 2x4 or 4x4 etc. You will get more help with more info about the truck.

Yeah, it really depends on the axle. We need a LOT more info.

Or, you could crawl under it and look.

F-350 4x4's had kingpins up until 92 or 93 for sure, so I'd be skeptical of the above info. My guess would be ball joints.

I don't mean to sound like the smart one but have a look at the truck unless you are buying it sight unseen

I don't know how soon this has to happen, but if it doesn't have to be this week, you could post in the Nevada chapter and get one of us to go look at it for you.
