I had the same problem, but mine turned out to be the Steering Damper. But prior to determining that, the other things I was told to check/check for were: Idler Arm & Tie Rods Lower Ball Joint Wear Brake Rotor Runout Don't know if this will help, but hopefully if you're still having trouble one of these will be the culprit for you. Good luck! - KWS
Crawl under the truck and look. If it has one you will see it.

A shock absorber type unit attached to the drag link on the steering mechanism

The 2004 was the only year this car had a real reliability issue. A periodic problem on this vehicle is failure of the Steering Dampener. The cost to repair the Steering Dampener is estimated at $925.00 for parts and $26.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. Other than this it is a very reliable car. A 2005 and up is more reliable.
