Front End Dance

Ok so today my truck seems to have taken on some tango lessons or something. I didn't seem to notice it before, but my front end seems to dance a little on the roads. Everything is stock. I have only rotated the tires and greased the fittings and changed the fluids. What could be the culprit? Only at 42k

Might have your tires balanced as a starting point. After that shocks and the list goes on.

I don't know what fittings you greased. Where are they?

Sounds like your tires are pumped up to high and you have not installed better shocks yet.

Stock, these trucks leave a lot to be desired in the suspension department.

The tires could probly use a balance again, but they are not viberating.

I greased the only two fitting there are, the tierod ends.
And yes they do have stock shocks with 42k on them.

I plan on getting a Leveling kit here shortly once I have the $$$ and can decide which one to get. So I will be getting Bilsteins on all four with the kit.
