Shaking

i have a something shacking the front end pretty bad, when i am going almost any speed.

 

it seems like it could be coming from the front end, but i have no idea what would be making it do that. it does it in 4wd and 2wd it doesnt matter. and in 4wd it doesnt intensify its the same as 2wd.

 

all of the wheels are tourqed down to 125 i just did and checked but still same problem.

Could a fallen off wheel weight cause that much?

 

it has a alignment problem say i let go of the wheel it will pull to the right side of the road say it will cross a 2 lane road and go into the ditch in about 200-300 feet. (isnt good, but could just a bad align ment cause it)

i also JUST replaced the u-joins about 1000 miles ago but my trucks driveshaft might not be at the right angle i never checked it.

turns out it was a idler arm.

 

i already had it replaced in june of last year so they covered it under warranty. and when they fix it on wed, there going to align it as well.

 

 

and as a somewhat of a bonus they found out the problem to a leaky tire i had. they found a nail in it and pluged up the hole for me. :cool:

Shouldn't shake and should drive straight with no effort. I would look for bad wheel balance, brake rotor imbalance is possible, and bad caster alignment. These trucks drive very, very well.
