Hello, I am wondering if anyone might have any idea what the cause to my problem could be. Probably about 25-35% of the time while at highway speeds, my truck will experience an occasional shimmy that seems to be coming from the front end. This has been going on since I bought the truck about 2 and a half years ago. I had both the Upper and Lower ball joints replaced about a year ago, along with having an alignment done. Yesterday I greased the fittings (only ones I could find on my truck were on the ball joints), and now, when the shimmy comes, it seems to be a good bit worse than before, shaking the steering wheel slightly more violently. I have been unable to find anything describing this type problem that I am running into, and really hate paying the shop gobs of money to fix something that I can do on my own as I tend to be good at reading through instructions to fix something I had previously not done. I would be appreciative of any help that I might receive. Thank you.
