Front end wobble at 60mph+
Ok, I have a 2000 Dodge Durango RWD SLT 5.9. I have had this front end wobble for a while now. The truck has 155,000 mile on it. I have replaced several front end parts trying to fix this issue. I have replaced all 4 ball joints, lower control arms, all new bushings, steering rack with new tie rods, sway bar bushings, new springs, new shocks (cheap 25$ Monroe shocks, could be the problem), new tires, wheels balanced, front end alignment and I still get this shaking on the freeway at over 60mph. Anyone have any ideas? I'm at a loss right now. Thanks!

I'm gunna lean towards a bad wheel bearing up front as you say it's only from 60mph or faster. Only two options with that info, a bad wheel bearing, or an unbalanced tire
Lift the front of the truck and with the tires on, check for play in every area. Ball joint, tie rods, and wheel bearings. Also spin the tires by hand to see if you feel any restriction, or rough movement. The bearing should be smooth and tight, no motion from side to side or up and down
