So do I adjust in in the center or on the ends lol I'm confused not and the one adjustment spot I know of it's the one on top of the gear box that has the lock nut on it I was told before loosen that up and try to tighten it quarter turn at a time then check my steering? Is there another way?

I had similar issues after I purchased my '96 Ram 2500 4x4 several years ago, but I also encountered "death wobble" while driving on the highway one day. Since the front end looked like nothing had been done at all to it and I planned to keep the truck for quite a long time, I decided to go ahead and rebuild the entire front suspension. I replaced everything (wheel bearings, U-joints at the wheels, poly sway bar links & sway bar mounts, tie rods, ball joints, shocks, adjustable 3rd gen style track bar & bracket, Borgeson steering box & shaft, new 33" tires, leaky front axle seal, etc.). The truck handles and drives much better now and no more death wobble.

Rental cars can receive quite a bit of abuse and not get the proper repairs performed, since they're rentals. I once drove a Chrysler 200 rental once and I must say that it wanted to drive itself no matter which way I turned the steering wheel. No wonder the Chrysler 200 is no longer sold...
