what steering parts do i need to replace that should help out? the tierod ends and ball joints will be replaced later when i rebuild the front end, but i want to replace some of the other stuff now.

idler arm?
pitman arm?


when i first lowered the truck, the place that aligned it didnt warrenty it becasue it had warn front end parts. looking at it now and then, it looks like the steering is whats worn out on it.

the steering feels really looser than it should be and its like the wheel is gonna fall off(not really, but i picture it happening)

That's the alignment place's fault, anyways. They shouldn't have lined it up the first time, if it had worn front end parts. I don't know what the laws are in OK, but here in NM, it's illegal for a shop to line up a vehicle with worn front end parts.
