details young man
year, 2wd etc, lb short bed, etc etc. mileage on it , lift, tire size-popcorn

as far as the center carrier, is it teh bearing itself or the rubber encasement
the rubber dampeing encasement should be able to move to absorb vibrations and flex..:sweet

steering stabilizer, ball joints tie rods,

sorry powerboater

its a 2001 f-250 7.3 4x4 lariat short bed crew cab 150,000 no lift stock tires with a monsterous brushguard/bumper on the front. thanks in advance for the help. also just replace the shocks to no avail. it is the rubber isolator. the sshimmy is so bad it almost rattles you out of the seat.
