Wondering

I just got home from driving the truck. I am getting sick of the wondering. Could anybody tell me what I need to do to correct it. I have read bits and pieces from other people. I would like a list of things to check or fix, which parts are the best and where to start. I have had it aligned three times in the past two years. Does anybody know of any diesel shops in MN. The dealer just doesn't cut it. The truck has 75K on it. I don't pull anything and keep the tires inflated to max psi.

Thanks

#1- Track bar
#2- Tie rod ends
#3- Steering box

A front end alignment would be thown in there somewhere after the worn part or parts have been replaced.

Have someone saw the wheel back and fourth with the motor running while you lay on the gound looking at all the connection points of the above. No need to turn the wheel lock to lock, just a nice gentle sawing back and fourth of about 3" on the wheel is the best. You should have no visible lateral movement in any of the joints.
