    I just made a purchase and brought this 2010! And I'm back. It came with a 3 inch left and rear blocks. I notice that when u go over bumpers the steering wheel is to wobbly especially if im going over 50 on the highway kinda makes the truck jerk i did notice that one of the front swaybar links bushing has grease coming out of it is there anything else that can be causing this issue the shocks are the regular Factory ones.

    Alot of them
    It could be any number of things....steering stabilizer, ball joint, tie rod, tire balance, bad rotor.

    When you say wobbly...do you mean the steering wheel shakes? OR the truck feels like it wandering ? If steering wheel shakes, the tires may need rebalance. IF it's wandering and does not feel controlled...Try replacing that sway bar link bushing first since you said it looks worn. Or could be bad shocks also. How many miles do you have on them? But like previous post said..it could be number of things.

    I getva little of both i can tell wheels need to be balance. The truck feels like it's wondering not sure how old the shocks are since I brought it from the dealer.

    Could be anything, ball joints, tie rods, steering link, wheel bearings or alignment...I would start with checking tie rods, ball joints and stabilizer links. Any slop in those will cause you problems. Nice looking truck :)

    i literally just posted this in another spot for similar but different issue ....

    have your rack and pinion bushings checked. those pesky bastards was my issue of the same problem.

    if your mechanically inclined or mildly and want to check the bushings your self.

    with the wheels straight pull of the front skid plate clean the area around the bushings and on the R&P , put some painters tape around the bottom bolt up to the top part of the bolt nice and tight. put the vehicle in accessory mode/position and turn the wheel back and forth hard. if the tape breaks its the Rack & Pinion bushings.

    i went down the rabbit hole with that one chasing it for months. almost bought new rims and upper control arms. till i talked to my buddy who does lifts and truck services told me to do that.

    if you need location pics let me know i have plenty from i did mine......

    its most likely something with steering or angle
