“Rattle” in steering over small bumps

[jsalbre]

I’m struggling with how to describe this, but I feel what I can only describe as a rattle in the steering wheel over small bumps/chatter. It’s not noticeable on bigger bumps.

I don’t feel anything if I wiggle the steering wheel back and forth. The ball joints all seem good, and everything appears to be torqued properly.

I feel like it reduces or disappears entirely once I’ve been driving for a while.

Could shock valving be causing this? Any other ideas? I’m stumped.

My truck is over 60k miles and has significant suspension modifications, so it’s definitely not covered by warranty. Thanks though.
