Default Loose front end?

When I go over a bump it feels like something in my front end is loose. I jacked the truck up and tried to wiggle tires front back back and then top to bottom everything is solid. Also when I hit a bump at speed my steering wheel wants to wobble back and forth. All bolts are tight everything looks good and solid. I am thinking front shocks at this point. Any other ideas?

How about just normal driving at high speeds?

It might just need an alignment maybe?

I had steering wheel wobble when I purchased my 99. Alignment and tire balance at Firestone fixed it right up. Worth every penny....mainly because I cannot do it myself LOL

Drives straight and true nothing loose, steering wheel stays centered.

Are your amigos on? Could be a bad hub, leaky PAS pup, ball joints, steering tie rod end, broken spring, stuck caliper etc.

Could be worse could be a loose rear end.
