Also, if the truck has a 'control arm' between the
front axle and frame, check that. My '86 F350
would death-wobble when hitting a certain type of
pothole. Only way to stop it was to slow to a stop.
As was mentioned....a very high pucker-factor... <g>
The bushings in the control-arm go bad, and allow
the axle to shift side-to-side. You can easily detect
bad bushings by standing outside the truck, and
turning the steering-wheel side to side. If the whole
truck is moving back and forth on top of the axle
(i.e. fender moving relative to tire), you've got bad
control-arm bushings.
