The ford 150 has standard tires and wheels and has recently developed a small vibration when turning a corner from a dead stop. The vibration stops when the wheel is straightened. I jacked it up and have no play in the tires. At high speed there are no problems at all. I have had the alignment, some front end work and the stabilizer sway bar bolts replaced and I still notice the vibration. Any clues ?

That have Rack and Pinion steering? Have seen many Fords "chatter" when turning the wheel, steering box usually takes care of the problem.

Also, I would flush the steering fluid because then it gets old it can chatter, here is a video to show you how on a similar truck but the procedure is the same.
