I replaced

Ball joints
Toe bar
Both ends of drag link
Track bar
Sway bar links
Both wheel bearings
Axle shaft u joints

All we’re replaced within the last four months

After replacing the ball joints, toe bar, and drag link the truck it hard to control and sways side to side on its own mostly after after 30 mph it gets worse with more speed, also if I hit a bump it will sway to one side or the other

Also another thing I noticed is the front springs aren’t sitting straight they have a bow to them I heard that was something to do with the axle being in the wrong angle would that be something to do with that?

Thanks for the input!

Did you get an alignment done? Sounds like your alignment is off.

The coils on the radius arm trucks all come with a bow in them. Thats normal.

How much lift? Are you running wide offset wheels?

That offset is absolutely killing you for starters. Also that 6" lift is doing you no favors.
If your springs are bowed it's because they cannot get enough castor adjustment. Are you running aftermarket radius arms or drops?

Hate to say it but you are fighting a losing battle with that setup....
