    Hello, trying to part out this project and getting pretty tired with my truck, and short on time with winter approaching… Found a site and a complete kit to replace, what I assume I will need to repair the uppers and lowers on both sides of the truck. In short, this might be why the truck shakes while I drive ~30-60mph.

    Link to the kit here:
    https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinf...kuyJLGDY2ldKdJ4bDk7GN7pUwCxpiWgqO9glpSj0PFY/O

    wat do?

    Any advice is appreciated.
    thanks

    I would check your steering rack first. Jack up both front wheels off the ground and check for play in the rack. Good luck

    If you want help diagnosing your issue, you are going to have to provide a better description of the problem. . when did the issue start? what have you modified? what have you tried? maybe post pictures or a video. we are not psychic.

    Thank you! I'll be checking this when I get some downtime.

    I may take you up on this offer, granted, if I can get the truck lifted to check the steering rack and see if it was the cause.

    Fair points. I left the wording simplistic as I've taken it to the shop, and they said the control arms and linkage are "shot"... Mechanics in a small town are kind of lame at times, unfortunately. They also wanted me to pay then around $3k to repair them. They are stock components.
