not so good vibrations

84 F250....just started happening... when i drive over a small pothole or recessed sewer cover, when the wheel goes into the hole and then comes out, there is a violent shake and I must stop to regain control. The steering wheel does not shake, just the whole truck. I'm thinking its my tie rod ball joints must be worn. Truck has no issues when driving over good pavement.

if the plastic bushings between the ball joints and the ball joint studs are cracked or fallen off I think it makes it pretty clear.
