You have to be more specific in describing your problem.
GM front ends are known for there problems. Pitman and Idler arms never last too long, even with good replacement parts like Moog.
Maybe you have a brake problem, possibly a brake caliper is hanging up?
Are your front tires in good shape?
It could also be your Steering Wheel Position Sensor. It's located at the base of the steering column. When it goes bad, it allows full pressure when it's not called for(like highway speed), and slight movement of the wheel will produce a 'Jerking' motion.
