If you already replaced the TB its probably not the culprit. Look at your wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.

no movement? i know you couldnt visually see any movement in my track bar when i had the deathwobble, them stock track bars are crap, i chewed one up after 300 miles dont waste your money get a good dt profab, its fully adjustable, lifetime warantee, all mounting hardware, and bullet proof. i wrecked my truck a month ago and it beand all tie rods, controll arms and sway bar links but the trackbar is stil straight as the day i bought it, thats saying something
