Seems its take my money and run there. Not happy at all with the customer Service .

    This is what my gut is telling me--new king pin bearings and shims. Rather them replaced than taken out. I know it won't hurt anything to remove them but would feel better having them there. Everything on my Truck is original from new so its understandable that things wear so I feel no harm in having them replaced along with the wheel bearings while I 'm going. At least I know myself then they are in good nick.
    This is what I am getting done next so will let you know what the verdict is.

    Lots of information on this on here. Unfortunately it could be may things..
    A few little tricks to try.
    Tighten wheel bearings and.go for a spin..
    if no good try greasing each rod one by one and take it for a spin after each one.
    The grease will short term pack any slop..
    If it still wobbles try removing the shims on king pin bearings and go for a spin.
    If it's still there replace the shims, and unfortunately that's the end of the free checks.
    If you do all that and it still shakes I'd. Start with bushes.. Panhard rod bush is the most likely culprit.
    And what makes it a right pita is if rear bushes are worn it can affect the wobbles to..
    Cheers
