That's why it's sometimes best to go have a pro look at your vehicle - you said in your first post they were okay. How did you check them?

I had my wife to turns the wheel while I watched to see if any play in there and then I aused pry metal bar to move upward/down by UCA and didn't see much.

I guess at shop, they have few guys to check it at same time.

At almost stop like 5-10 mph , it still a bit vibration that I believe it's from Nitto tires but no steering shaking from 30-40 mph to almost stopping

I think the wheels have to be off the ground to check the ball joints for play.

Hi.

So - they had it all apart and only changed the lowers? What about the uppers? And all the rest - tie-rod ends, etc? You can expect those to be on their way out soon, if the condition of the lower BJ's is any indication.

Updated:

Brought it in pro that speciality for trucks , diesel trucks, that my friend recommended me.

The whole front end was loose, all ball joints replaced ( it's 100k ) I requested to replaced it all at once.

Stabilize steering fixed.

They lifted the truck and it was rear rotors!!!! They found vibration when applied braking.

Ordered rear rotors and hawk lts pads. Will replace it next week.

Thank you all.
