What's normal or what's acceptable? Do your trucks do this too?  I never noticed mine until this week.  I've had the truck for 25 years. 

 

I attached two pics to show how much movement my steering shaft has. These videos were taken immediately after I installed the new steering columns shafts with the truck on blocks.  I am curious to see if the "wobble" gets worse after driving it.  

 

I replaced:  2) UCA, 2) LCA, pitman arm, idler arm, idler arm mount, upper and lower tie rod ends, steering gear, upper and lower intermediate steering shaft, stabilizer bar/sway bar bushings, sway bar end links.  (i think this is everything)

After putting everything back together i noticed the steering shaft rubbing the headers and the out of roundness.  Then, i looked at the old lower intermediate steering shaft i removed and it has wear marks on it.  It has been rubbing the headers due to it's out of roundness also, but i never new it.
