2001 spercrew 110k front end rides very rough. feels unstable. is it time to change out all the rubber parts?

 

It's time to get it up on a lift and have a front end tech look at it.

 

are there obvious parts that fail at that mileage. I've changed shocks and stabilizer links. the dealer changed an upper and lower ball joint two years ago. the tires are new with alignment and the tech said there were no other issues present. It just just rides like crap

 

is there any slop in the steering it self. if there is shut the truck(while in paark dont do it doing 65) and then turn the wheel and if there is still slop then there is something wrong, dont jack it up or anything, then if there is get someone to look at the steerin box,you might have to pull the protective house off around the top of the box very simple, and if the steering shaft but nothin else moves, i.e tires, center link, pittman or idler arm there is something wrong.
(I had bout a 1/2 turn of the wheel before the wheels turned on mine, broke something in the steering box, out to pull that thing apart and see if it is fixable.)
Just me 2 cents

 

tech said play in steering box is minimal and normal for its age

 

well mine went from like a 1/8 to 1/2 in a day there is a way to tighten tbat up though, be very careful if u do cuz 2 tight and you will look drunk trying to keep it between the lines, and it wont track after a turn u would have to manually turn it back straight.
