I can't bring up your shopping cart, only your computer can. But I still think y o may be spending money you don't need to. The one thing we have not told you to do is to have somebody move the steering wheel back and forth while you watch what happens under the front. If something moves and the wheels don't turn, then fix that part. Look down on the steering box while doing the same. Does the pitman arm move immediately when the shaft is turned? If not adjust it. This is the way any good mechanic would go about it.
I'll report back in a few days with what I find.

Ok,went and had the tires rotated and checked the steering. It seems the pitman arm bushings need to be replaced and an alignment.
I took it for a driver after they rotated the tires and was able to hit 85Mph with no wobble, I also went down the road that usually causes it and it didn't happen.
I'll order a new set of tires next payday and get those bushings replaced.
Thanks for all the help guys, I hope this helps for now until I can get all the bushings and such replaced.
