Description of the problem	I've been experiencing this "wobble" or vibration/shake issue for about a year in the front end. While driving down the interstate i hit an expansion joint and the front end shook and wobbled in a way that didn't seem right. I took it to the dealer the next day and asked for a full inspection. They said everything was fine. I continued to drive the truck and experienced the issue every so often and it kept getting worse. I thought it might be the front steering stabilizer so i changed it. No difference. I changed all 4 shocks. No difference. I thought maybe it was the tires which were close to the end of their mileage life. Still experienced the same issue. I took it to another dealer who inspected it and said it was the track bar. I asked if the failure could have anything to do with the tie rod recall and was told no. They replaced the part with my permission. The steering seemed tighter. At first it seemed to have solved the issue. A few months later i hit an expansion joint and got what people refer to as the "death wobble" - the front end shook so bad i had to slow down to about 30 miles and hour before it smoothed back out. I took the truck back to my regular dealer. They kept my truck 4 days - they said they took it out a few times and finally experienced the issue i reported. They said the drag link joints were loose. Again i asked if this could have anything to do with the tie rod recall and was told no. After a thorough test drive i still don't feel the issue is fixed - it's better, but not gone completely. I am headed back to the dealer in the morning. I know the roads everywhere suffer from lack of regular upkeep but i cannot understand how a truck with less than 80,000 miles could possibly need to have these parts replaced so soon - especially for the premium price i paid for the vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
