Front End Problem

Well don't know if I have a problem or not, but it feels like something is loose in the front end of my rig...only notice it when I'm turning and hit a bump.or hit the brakes hard.....may sound strange but I feel it thru the brake pedal and the steering wheel...what you guys think?

BTW the trucks not lifted...stock tires..

Ball joints, track bar is not much of a problem on the 3rd gens like the 2nd gens were, how many miles do you have on you r truck? if it was lifted I would say check the control arm bushings

generally if it's the track bar, you'd be getting a popping sound when turning.

Well since your trucks an 07 make the dealer find and fix it! If not check your U-joints to, mine did the same thing when they got worn.

I have the exact problem on mine. You can barely feel it, and its in the brake pedal and the steering wheel. I cannot figure out what it is either. Let me know when you find it. Its driving me crazy. I have a leveling kit and 35s on mine, but still, its the exact same thing you're describing

Theres a few threads on here about the steering shaft fix. Ive done it to mine and it takes care of the same exact problems you guys are having. Grease the front end where theres fittings and do the steering shaft fix and youl be happy.
