Front end rattles like hell & sounds like it is about to come off when I hit a pretty good series of pot holes going 5-10 mph. This has rack and pinion steering not box. Could not really find anything other than the steering box fix on 2nd gen and 2500/3500 models. Don't offer a stabilizer. Could it be shocks? Anyone with a clue how to stop it?

Its as easy as turning a locknut and screw. you just don't want to overtighten it or your rack and pinion will wear out. others mentioned shocks and stuff, but also don't forget about motor mounts.
