Default Acceleration + Turn Vibration

I am getting a vibration when accelerating and turning either direction from a stop. The whole truck with vibrate/shutter/shake or what ever you want to call it. As soon as I straighten the wheel it will go away. No vibration on a straight acceleration. I checked the u-joints on the driveshaft and no play whatsoever. I’m stumped. Any ideas? 2006 4x4 v8

Can you put it into 4WD, and then take it back out of 4WD?

It sounds like your truck has 4WD engaged when you are driving with those symptoms.

Yes, I can engage and disengage 4wd.

If not the U-joint, than probably something in the front end suspension would be my guess.
