So give me your opinions on the video, I am trying to diagnose what parts are bad. I show everything from inner tie rods, to sway bar links, and ball joints. Let me know.

My brand new tires sort of have coupling on the front outer sides. Only slightly, i think this is from turning. Could my video explain this issue?

BTW: Rear bilsteins are finished, about to install front struts. I may wait and leave her all apart and wait for upper and lower bj's, inner tie rods, and sway bar links.

Thanks

Right now Im looking at $241 for upper & lower bj's, inner tie rods, and new sway bar links. I want to know if I really need new bj's and sway bar links by watching the video. As for the inner tie rods. I think I will just replace them. But is the play that you see, from a bad inner or a bad rack itself? I don't want to replace the inners and have something else be bad in the steering. I have new outers as of now. If I do this, I've put over $700 into rebuilding my suspension!

All those parts you showed seem kinda lose. Doesn't the truck have 90K+ miles on it? Thats the time all those joints start waring out so I would just go ahead and replace them all.

Yea, the trucks got 100k on it now. I may just replace the inners and do the ball joints this summer.
