Default Front end flutter

I have a minor flutter in what I think is my right front corner. Aside from some actual flutter that I can feel in the wheel if I turn the radio off and concentrate, the symptom is mostly that the front end feels squirrely -- not loose, but sort of non deterministic, in a bowel-loosening way.

:-)

It's more prominent on some types of roads than others, and also makes the truck seem more picky about crown angle than I'd expect.

My underlying question is this:

I can see that this could be (my having fixed my front prop shaft) tire balance, other tire problems, ball joints and steering gear, front shocks, or some other problem I can't enumerate just now.

Anyone got any pointers on a way to diagnose *which* of those is the most likely culprit, short of sorting them in ascending order by price and Just Doing Them until it goes away?

Or is that the recommended procedure in this sort of case?

I would've expected this to be a generic topic.

@jycsalas: could you move thread?
