Welcome to the forum.

What alignment settings were used for the steering?

Is the vehicle stock, or raised w/ larger tires?

Check the front bushings on the lower control arms. They are length-compensating bushings that tend to rip out their centers. I just replaced mine that were 2 year old Moog. Moog are now made in China, BTW. I had kept the boxes and got them replaced under warranty.
