    Welcome!
    Check your Tie-Rods and Ball joints, they can usually make things feel pretty scary up there.

    Welcome aboard.
    Like said above,start with the font steering & hubs, replace all front end bushings & go to ploy not rubber.
    Than I'd change out all the drive line bearings, including the carrier bearing.:cool:
