01 Feels Like Front axle is going to Fall OUT

When you realy get on it feels like the whole axle shifts, also when going around turns it feels like sonthing lifts out of place and falls back in.. just put a NEW track bar in and all 4 ball joints. And new tires.

What about your lower steering column bushing? My '99 kind of feels about the same way and my lower bushing is bad. Or loose bolts on steering gear?

Might want to check your unitized hub bearing and verify everything is tight. Just a thought.
