I have replaced everything relating to the steering system because of the following issue. There was no change at all.

When driving there is 3 inches of travel left to right in the steering wheel. While traveling straight the truck pulls to the right and the wheel must be held to the left, sometimes following a large bump (like a pot hole) it feels as though something shifts and the wheel will go straight without pull momentarily before falling back. Also when entering the apex of a curve to the left (at speeds 30 mph or higher) the truck feels unstable like the steering is going to fold in on itself or is binding. No such issue to the right when turning. Could the engine mounts cause this as they are also bolted to the front diff?

Any input would be great. I have asked questions on this forum before and no one has answered any to date.

 

Just to touch bases here.
You have replaced your Idler, and Pitman Arms and possibly your tie rods?

 

When I stated I replaced everything, Everything includes: Gear box, steering arm, Idler arm, tie rod ends (inner and outer), upper and lower ball joints and A arm bushings. Also at same time not that it has anything to do with the problem shocks, front axles and brakes.

Other possible info to aid in diagnosis: poping through steering when when stoping,

 

Its hard to tell what it is over the computer. Since you replaced all the above parts did you get an alignment? After ALL the parts were replaced and not just a few. If you didn't go do it, they will be able to tell you what is loose ect. If you did take it back and tell them what is going on and to check it.

 

Yes after all the front end work done all at once, it was aligned. I have taken my truck to three different shops and no one can explain why this was happening. Its so odd, i have never experienced anything like it. I just thought maybe it was a rare but still comon problem out of a dodge.

I need a way to see it in action. I can idle at 5 mph and violently turn wheel left to right and back again and feel a shift and hear the pop as it finds its max movement area. but whats moving I have no Idea.

 

Have a friend drive it in an empty parking lot at the 5mph you need and you walk next to it. Have them drive it over a speed bump and you observe what it does from the side, front back ect, do it 100 times if needed. Get a video camera and tape it to something to record what is happening on the inside, a old one is best in case of damage.
