Sub'd. I'm in the same boat right now. I've got a shimmy in the wheel that comes and goes. I'm thinking it's the bushings (2005 4.8is w/111K). Going to get under it Sunday and see if I can get a good look at them.

While I'm under there, and since I don't have a press, I'm thinking it would probably be a good idea to do the control arms as well? Get a kit that has the bushings already in?

The struts have been replaced, though I need to pull out the carfax again and check when. It was one of the things listed. (I rescanned it the other day and realized that I had better service records than I thought...it has been pretty well maintained, and mostly at the dealership - oil changes around the 10K mark for the life of the truck, scheduled large maintenance done, etc.)

Any tips will be appreciated.
