you have the classic death wobble /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif do a search on death wobble and you find out more info /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Check the frame where the Steering box bolts to and check for cracks, Also jack up the truck and check for bad tie rod ends or other Steering related parts.

checked the steering box thats fine.. but i took off the tire and the whole knuckle moves up and down 3/4 of an inch so im assuming time for new ball joints.

Yep, I would say so! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gifI would change all of them.
