I would maybe have someone take a look at the stabilizer bar and ball joints. Unless you request them to look at the whole steering assembly, meaning torsion bars, etc. they might not find the issue. on another note maybe your power steering pump could be taking a dump on you, was it hard to turn?
Testimonial: "I had it looked at & they told me it was the rack & pinion which really irks me because I don't understand how they couldnt see it was bad before I wasted money on the parts & labor..then how all of a sudden it stops turning left after i leave the shop well it it does turn but not as much as usual & its extrememly hard to turn i have to become the hulk just to make a left turn..it turns right fine with no problems"
SOURCE: how difficult to replace inner tie rod end on 06 silverado 2wd?
Not that hard, just spray the tie rod sleeve with WD40 night before and let it soak in. Remove the collier pin and and nut and hammer the old inner tie rod end out of the Track rod with a 5 pound sledge hammer. Remove the inner tie rod end from the sleeve and don't forget to mark the distance so you can place the new tie rod end at the same length. Reinstall the inner tie rod end to the Track rod and tighten the nut and replace the collier pin with a new one. Grease the fitting and go for a test drive, if the truck does not wonder then your good to go with out a alignment. Good luck and hope this helps, Note, make sure you have to right inner tie rod ends. Each side has different thread rotations.

Has to be a drive axle,most likely an inner joint,should be able to feel the play if one is bad (jacked up to let the wheel spin freely).
Also. If the front suspension is weak,or lowered, the CV axle will bottom out in the inner plunge cup and make a terrible vibration.
Testimonial: "You Called it !! Both axles were worn out at inner joint left boot blownout dry barings, right axle needle barings gone,baring floating around inside"
