Yeah, I’m not putting a lot of faith in the stabilizer but it was overdue for replacement.... now that I’ve had time to think and be away from it I’m leaning towards the shocks and maybe tire issues. Because of job loss related issues I have never had new tires on this truck and I think it may be a factor here as well. I was getting a little shake in the front end before the axle swap but figured it was rotors. My situation is much improved but ironically I was waiting to get the front end gone through before buying new tires. Weird that this wouldn’t have happened before, but I guess when you have a mishmash of various used parts mixed with new and maybe worn parts anything can happen. Thankful that I have a bunch of stuff to look at this weekend.
