I'll look for the Vid's this weekend. I'm also thinking of following the advice of this thread just to be on the safe side. The 3rd stabilizer that's on right now is still ok, but it only has about 300 miles on it.

Something is has to be warn causing the shock to take on more than if can handle.
Watch the vids. Grab a pair of channel locks and look for up and down play on the tie rod ends. You have "4"
Lift the front tires 1-2" of the ground and shove a shovel or something like it underneath and push up. The ball joints will make a noise if warn. There should be no play. If something still feels loose but the balljoints are solid. You might have a bad hub bearing.
Just having someone turn the wheel 9-3 quickly should reveal any slop.
If nothing is out of place/warn its most likely a bad tire/wheel.
Good luck and keep posted.
