Word to the wise. Drive around the dealer a bit and Try to find a spot near the dealers shop where you can recreate the feeling. In case they say they can't recreate it you can jump in your truck and take them to that spot.

Oh I just saw that stuff at the dealer.
Apparently it was ball joints.
Upper and lower on both sides.
Drivers side not near as bad but still they recommended replacing them.

Not under warrantee. They told me mcgaughys spindles and bad for the steering components. The steering gear he said is under a lot of pressure due to the spindles.

So I'm gonna do all the work my self now that I know what to fix.

I'm honestly just glad they found the issue...
He said my lower ball joints have so much play they consider it a safety hazards and said that's probably what I'm feeling.

What you were probably feeling is bump steer due to the play.

I really want to change my ball joints also without changing the whole controll arm. Are you going to do them yourself or send it to a machine shop?
