the front wheels may need balancing or it could be a loose or worn tie rod end or other loose component on the front end, you will need get under the vehicle & have a good look & give the steering components & anything else a good shake to see if you can see anything loose or worn.........hope this helps......cheers.
FRONT END SHIMMY AND SHAKING COULD HAVE A TIRE OUT OF BALANCELOOSE OR WORN WHEEL BEARINGS, WORN OUT BALL JOINTS,WORN OUT TIE ROD ENDS, FRONT END NEED ALIGNMENT.BRAKE ROTOR WORN OUT OR WARPED, MANY THINGS WILL CAUSE FRONT END TO SHAKE SHIMMY.
it sounds like the front tires need balancing.if you drive the truck slowly(creeping down the road at about 5mph)and lightly holding the steering wheel do you feel the steering wheel moving back and forth.this could indicate a bad belt in a tire where as a wheel imbalance won`t show up at this low of a speed,but a bad belt will.also have the front end checked for worn front end components and wheel bearings,this can cause a bad shake too.
Probably the cable it is stuck,you are going to need help from a mecanic,or try to pull down the tire with your ands,lift the car and put jack stands so you can have more space.
if your tires are ballanced then you need tie rod ends or ball joints jack up one wheel and **** tire left and right and see where the play is coming from even if you can replace the worn parts you will still have to get a front end allignment
I would have that front end checked as soon as possible. It could be anything, ball joints, tie rod ends, cv joints, could be the rack and pinion steering. If any one of these things break, you will loose your steering.
