I just said screw it and replaced everything. Pricey yes but at least I know everyting is good. Honestly after the ball joint, tie rods, and all the bushings it was probly around $300 and some change. I did all the labor cause... well.... I can.

$300 for peace of mind isn't a very high price. If you've got the cash and ability, almost no reason not to. These trucks are at least 10 years old, and can be much older if you've got a Renix like myself. And probably you as well.

I would have just gotten an alignment first and moved from there.
