Check steering gear box for slop, check tie rod ends, check ball joints, etc...

Best way is to have a buddy move the wheel back and forth while you lay underneath and look for any kind of slop.


If you don't find anything there, check the ujoints.

Sure. Twice the work, twice the time, but a solid plan
