put on new springs,shocks,calipers,rotors,brakes,controlarm bushings, had it aligned this morning,rotated tires,borgeson steering shaft. still have this shake in the front end from 35-65mph,worse at 65,goes away at 70.
thought maybe it was tires from being out of alignment,they woar a little but shop says not tires?? any one know what this could be or where to look next?? taking it to a custom builder tomarrow,for him to let me know what is wrong with it. it just driving me nuts thank you

 

any knocking when first starting or anything like that?are control arm bolts tight for shure?

 

no knocking all bolts are tight. steers straight even when letting go of the wheel. just a shake or shimmy. thought it was tires,swithched front to back still the same. open to suggestions thank you

 

Well one solution would be to drive either 30 or 70 mph!

WoW! You've preaty much rebuilt the whole front end!

What type of shaking is it? Steering wheel shaking? Other?

How are the wheel bearings? I really hope the shop that did the alighment checked them!
What is a borgeson steering shaft?

I hope you get it figured out!

I know why mine shakes! The whole front end is loose. The truck has seen a lot of snow plowing.

 

the shake is in the body not in the steering at all.just put the new rotors,wheel bearing on last week,i no they are perfect. this past sunday i put on new back drums,firgured it was them being out of round,not that either. i just put new u-joints on,the ones i put on last year had some play,but it seems that the front one still has play in the half that hooks to the shaft it self,maybe that is it??? they are in wright with the u clips and all. how could this be??? the inside of the shaft can not wear?? there is about 1/16 or a hair more of play up and down,thought the grease would tighten it up,but still no. what else??? thank you

 

also checked the trans mount,its still good,put it in last year.

 

I believe this is your problem......

 

I would fix the known u-joint problem before looking elsewhere. You may have knocked a needle bearing over during installation when you replaced the u-joint. I have seen this before.

 

took it this morn to a driveshaft shop,they put new spicer u-joints in and ballanced the driveshaft. they saw the play in the new joint i put in they said its just junk parts from autozone,oreilly,advance auto parts. i believe that,i know that spicer joints are best.
still have same shake/vibration??
had a rear wheel cyl. go out on way to shop this morn. just put 2 new wheel cyls. from napa on. when i get done ill take it out and see what happens. thank you

 

well got done with the wheel cyls. took for ride.still got a shake/vibration though whole truck,front more so.
while i had the rear on jack stands,i started it up and ran it up to 60-65 mph with the back wheels off the ground,and the shake or vibration is still there???always had some shake/vibration just seem to be getting worse.
i may have to break down and take it somewhere and have it checked out,i would rather not but dont have much of a choice. the only thing i did not do yet is get the wheels/tires spin balanced,could this cause my problem??? busted belt in tread of tire?? bent wheel?? thank you
