Could be the CV joint in the front driveline. These can wear out with symptons similar to what you have. They wear quite fast if the rubber boot by this assembly is torn, releasing the grease. Why do you beg to differ with the mechanic ? Did you observe slop in the wheel when he tested it ?

I think it could be your ball joints I had a similar sypmtom on my 2000 4.7 Quad and it turned out that my ball joints were bad. The dealer replaced them under the LDS warranty I had and didn't cost me anything $0 deductable.
Hope I helped some,
Michael

Michael - did they also test your ball joints and tell you that wasn't the problem; as in this example ?
