Did you check the idler arm and pitman arm. Look under the truck at them and have someone move the steering whell back and forth to see if you see any movement in either. Hope this helps To check ball joints place a flow jack next to the tire (inside)
raise it about 2 inches off the ground and with a bar
pickup on the tire and wheel to see if you see any movement. If so replace ball jpoint.
