On mine it was doing it just turning. It was more pronounced on an incline
like a driveway. I ended up with new bolts when I put my nerf bars on and
that eliminated the problem.

Ron, I thought that the cab bolt fix was for "turning onto an incline"..
Like when you get your frame tweaked up like a pretzel...
