I have searched the forums, but I haven't found what need.

There's a very slight wobble at city speeds, but when I hit 65 to 70 mph, the steering wheel wobbles and shakes really bad. It feels like the trucks is falling apart. I gotten it up to 95 mph and it doesn't calm down at all.

Now, what checks can I do by myself to pinpoint the problem? Control arms, tie rods, bushings, alignment.

The truck drives straight with my hands off the wheel. The steering wheel is canted about a half inch to the left when driving straight.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 






Maybe a weight fell off one of the wheels so it's imbalanced, or the wheel bearing is shot? I'm only basing this on it getting worse when you go faster.
