Hi, Today I was driving and all of a sudden my truck started to shake uncontrollably. I had to pull over and have it towed. I noticed that the front right tire would turn but the drivers side did not move. I really need help on what broke and if its something that I could fix. Thanks for your help!

bearing?
 






I have no idea, I was running fine then all of a sudden it started to shake like hell. Like I said the pass side moves when i turn the steering wheel, but the drivers side stays put. When the tow got there i was able to kick the tire straight.
 






More than likely its a broken tie rod end. You can replace it yourself if you can turn a wrench.

Oh you cant turn it with the stearing wheel? I thought you meant it won't rotate. Then yeah, most likely a tie rod is broken. After replacing it you will need to have the truck aligned.

tie rod end? you can fix anything if you have the proper tools, and an understanding of how something works.
