Default Handles like complete crap

96 f150 5.0 2wd 187k miles 33's

Handles like complete crap. It wants to jerk over when ever i hit a grove on the road like going from the highway to the shoulder. It just does not handle right. I know it had 3in body lift and 33's but it should not handle like this. When i bought it we spent the money to have the whole front end redone. Only has 20k miles on the front end.

Got it looked at the other day and said the drag link to the right side was loose. Replaced that and now they found the radius arm bushing on the passenger side had some play in it. So im in the process of replacing that ( at the shop cause i could not get the bracket to replace them).

What else could cause this? Ive got to the point where i thought about selling it cause it scares me to drive it.

Those are big tires. A steering stabilizer will help.
