Ultimately, if the truck's a keeper, it's worth doing regardless of whether or not it solves your immediate problem. I haven't done mine yet, but it's something I do to any vehicle more than 15 years old that's worth keeping. It makes 'em just a tad harder to wreck.

Kinda sounds like you've already talked yourself into an end to end suspension bushing replacement already.

At this mileage I'm feeling lucky to have not had to do anything sooner.
I just need to work out where to spend the limited trickle of funds first.

Have someone follow you down the road, that KNOWS what you are going to be doing. Have them check to see if your 'tail is wagging'. does the truck change its 'angle of attack' when applying the brakes? Does it dog-track when not on the brakes??
I could see bad bushings doing that...... but, I would think it would make some noise too. But, not like I have never been wrong before.

I was thinking of putting a camera on the bed (looking at the wheel) to see if there is anything obvious.
