I had Dynabeads in my tires. After a few years I noticed loose front end. Shocks and spring bushings were worn out. Seemed like also the tires were out of balance even though they have Dynabeads in them. I replaced the bushings. I put on Centramatics. And I'm in the process of replacing the shocks. I've learned that the shocks on these trucks are pretty much throw away wear out items. Most of the truckers say they get 40-50k miles and toss them. Mine had 42k miles and they are done. No resistance pushing them in and out when I took them off. Did you try taking your shocks off and see if they have any resistance?
