Just from my personal exp. I would look for signs of brake fluid on tires
under truck, ( or gear oil streaks ), oil leaking from clutch bell
housing drain ( indicating trans or rear main engine seal leaking ) and
under hood for signs of fuel/oil gaskets leaking.
My truck also had too much play in steering. Found broken and loose
bolts that mount steering gearbox to chassis. Also found broken and
missing studs on top of left front steering knuckle that mount the plate
for steering rod. The steering drag link also needed adjustment.
That should give you a few places to start with. I am sure others on
this list can give more places for you to look. These are just a few of
the things I had to fix on my truck.
