If you go towards the end of this post you will find a consolidated list of everything that we have found so far that contributes to front end and steering problems. https://www.dieselbombers.com/5-9l-2...d-rebuild.html

thanks for all the input so far. As for tire size they are 315's on stock wheels (mud terrians). i just ordered new ball joints i am gonna give that a try and the tie rod seems like it could be a good idea, it seems to do it alot more when i am turning to the left but it does it to the right as well. The wheels were just balanced so i ruled that out and the hub assembly has about 1000 miles on it along with the tie rod ends and track bar. Does anyone know do they make poly bushings for the control arms i think that would be a good idea at this time as well. I am more pissed about the shake then I am the tire wear but I would like to resolve both of them. Keep the ideas coming thanks for all the help :tu:

Energy suspension sells them. You can find out what is available here:
energysuspension.com | Search Result
This link will give you an idea of pricing:
Energy Suspension Parts: Ram 2500, Dodge 4WD Ram 2500 2001
Good luck.

You'll find the part numbers and all that in that front end rebuild thread for all the bushings that are available. Don;t go by the Energy suspension guide, it's wrong. Found that out the hard way. Everything listed for the 2500/3500 series Dodge trucks is intended for use on the gassers which have a different suspension under them then we do.

My truck shook at 65 it was to bad for awhile then on a long trip it got so bad it was popin the differintal into netural. The problem ended up bein front driveshaft U-joints. If its 4X4 you might look into that but mine never had the stering shake problem.
