Front end wobble.
I've had the weirdest problems with the front end on this truck. this problem has been on and off. the last two days in a row i come to a stop and turn right once i straighten back out my steering wheel starts jerking back and fourth and i look at the window at my front tires and they are wobbling back and fourth and then it will go away. and i've checked everyone on the front end nothing looks loose or out of place and a while ago i took it to the shop and they said everything looks fine. so i dont want them to just start replacing stuff to see if it goes away. and it doesn't happen everyday which is the strange part just the odd time. any ideas????? thanks

i just got the passenger side balljoints done and they did that axle shaft ujoint. the ball joints were fine on the driver side so i don't think they checked the ujoint on that side? do you think just having one side seized would it do that or would both have to be seized?

I will GARUNTEE its the axle shaft ujoint. Its a pretty strange feeling right? As noted, I just had mine done and all is good now.

I had a similiar problem that ended up to be a tire. You could not tell on the outside of the tire. When we took them off the wheel the one had separated on the inside. It was almost brand new.
Good Luck......
