So I'm not sure if this is posted in the right spot but here goes nothing, I recently picked up my first Toyota, an 84 pickup on 33's. The trucks in over all great shape, but has a little steering whobble. The guy I got it from had gone over the front end and had it aligned even, he told me that the knuckles and steering arms where the cause of the whobble.
My question is why are my options other than going out and buying a full six shooter kit, whould buying a standard rebuild kit for the stock knuckles be a better option or even available? Any advice as to where and what to look for as far as parts go? I don't have plans to do any major wheeling with the truck because it's an extended cab long bed but will get off road use, saves wear on my daily driver.
Any help or advice appreciated.

I just rebuilt the front end of my 83' and I would check that the steering arms are torqued and the spindle nut also if he took the axle out loose shackles can cause a wobble. It could be bearings that are worn if he only did seals on the axle you shouldn't need six shooters for 33's and lowrange offroad has a video series on YouTube about rebuilding toyota axles

He took it in to the local les schwabs he works at so I'm not sure if he did just seals, I'll take a look at the shackles and spindles, if that's the case that saves a lot of money. As nice as a six shooter kit is that's a lot of extra cash if I can stay stock on a good axle.

so '84 extended cab long bed is a solid front axle truck?

if it is indeed sfa, davez no death wobble shackles are the only way to go, but they are a pia to install.

Yes 84 is one of the last years for a straight axle stock, and those shackles are on my list
