Default front end problem CV/balljoints ????

Hi guys. Wonderng if anyone could help. Just started happening last month.

I have a 2000 dak 4x4 automatic V8 with 44k miles. Truck runs fine when I am rolling straight ahead. However, when I make a full right hand turn the truck wobbles slightly. The wobbling is similar to the wobbling you get when you engage the 4x4 on a dry pavement and start to make a turn. The wobbling is NOT as pronounced as that but SLIGHTLY similar.

I have not jacked up the car yet (way too cold outside) to check for ball joints or cv's, but as I describe it, can anyone pin this one down.

You guys helped me fix a rpm fluctuation problem in the past and hope you can help me fix this one.

thanks in advance.

Tons of possibilities. Lifting it up and moving things around to see what has play is the only way. You could also take it to a shop and ask if they do free checks/ test drives.
