recommend replacing the shocks for the shake (most likely), and replacing the bump stops cuz they look like hell.

Had a 2006 yukon in last week with a bad jounce and shake out of right front - transferred through steering wheel. replaced shocks, verified repair.

Loose lower ball joints (depending on severity) typically make clunking noises - not steering wheel shake.

Loose upper ball joints (depending on severity) will make clunking noises, as well as steering wheel shake usually just over bumps at speeds above 45mph.

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah, just take it to have an alignment done - AFTER YOU REPLACE PARTS - for the drift right concern.

Thanks, I finally got around to ordering some shocks. I was going to purchase them from the local 4 Wheel Parts however, when I went up there to buy them after they told me they had them...They no longer have them.

So, I came home and made some calls and finally got a set of Bilsteins. I replaced the shocks and the steering felt tighter and a little more responsive, but I still had a bad shake at high speeds. I looked at the wheels next to see if any of them were out of balance, and sure enough the right front was missing some weights. I am going to take it to Tire Kingdom tomorrow morning and have them balance the wheel for me.

I'll let you guys know what it does after I get it balanced...
