It's been a while sence I'v been on here, I used to own a first gen, sold the truck and bought a 2ed gen. The truck is having problems with the front end I'm kind of hoping someone here on this site has or had the same problem as I have now. This is the kind of truck I have and the problem I'm having. It's 2001, 6 speed, truck is 100% stock, it has 400,000 Km. This is what is happening when you are driving down the high-way around 100Km or higher, when the truck hits a bump the hole front end starts shacking going up and down out of control. You have to bring it to a complete stop these are the things I have done to the truck; I have changed all the ball joints, shocks, tires, bearing, sway bar, U-joints and the truck is still doing it. If anyone could help it would be LIFE SAVING

Thanks for your help.
