Default 2500 Front end problem

My 2500 has a front end alignment problem. It keeps pulling to the right and when I took it for service, the dealer told me that the front end was shot and that I needed to replace a bunch of parts. The truck only has 33,000 on it! Any sugestions?

My '03 had the same problem...twice. When it was new no aftermarket parts were available. At 35k the ball joints, u-joints and bearings were replaced with Mopar parts. They failed again in less miles, but greaseable parts were available. Now at 140K the greaseable parts are still in there and doing fine. Why a truck of the 2500's rugged build comes stock with non-greaseable junk parts baffles me. Grease is cheap, parts are expensive.
