i have a shaking issue on my truck i have no idea what it is

sometimes not always when i make a turn like if i was parking i feel kinda like a little shake on the truck also on the steering wheel

and also there is a lot of sand in my area so when im at a stop sign and i step on the gas too hard my tires spin so i lay off the gas and continue driving recently i notice that i feel a shake on the back side of the truck

both of these i have never felt before and it continues to happen more ane more often what could be my problem?:uhoh:
 
The first issues sounds like it could be loose/worn steering parts, almost like a bad rack or intermediate steering shaft. Typically there is more of a clunk if it is the ISS. Or, it could be a bad hub. Any other signs or noises?

On the rear, that sounds odd. Maybe a bad u-joint. Do you have any vibration/shaking at higher speeds, say on the highway?
 
i dont feel anything or maybe i havent payed well attention

on the steering part its only when im going to park somewhhere the steering wheel shakes a little as if u hold a fishing rod and a fish bighting ur bait
 
first step

jack up the front of the truck, place your hands in the 12 and 6 o'clock positions on the tire and push in and out, like a seasaw to see if it wobbles, if it does, the ball joints are worn out.

now place your hands in the 3 and 9 position and do the same thing. if it wobbles its the tie rods,

now if it did it at both of the previous, put your hands at the 7 and 2 position, if it still does it, then it could be a wheel bearing going out.

if you place the tires back on the ground, have your friend get into the truck and wiggle the steering wheel in the area where it had play, while he is doing that go under the truck and look to see how much the pitman arm and idler wiggle, if they have excess play they can be worn.


rear vibrations can be caused by drive shaft out of ballance.

u joint failure, with the truck in park and the rear tires jacked up, roll the rear tire forward and back, see if there is any play in the front and rear u joint (sometimes theres a middle u joint if you have the 2 piece drive shaft.

or a tire out of balance. This normally happens in a way where it occurs at certain speeds and other speeds it goes away.


I assume your truck is stock, so it shouldnt have bump steer.
 
yes sir my truck is stock and i was assuming something about the drive shaft bcus sometimes while changing from drive to parking i can feel and hear something
thanks for the help
 
well the back part only happens when the wheels spins and i think im not 100% sure only the right rear tire spins i was out there a few minutes ago just revving it looking like a dumb ass lol but it didnt happen again
 
If you turn after it breaks loose you'll definitely feel the locked diff. May also be feeling it lock/unlock.
