Is your truck a 4x4? Standard trans or automatic? Also, is the shaking relevant to vehicle speed, rpm, or both? Does the shaking get worse as you increase speed? Lets also take into consideration other things that rotate:
-CV axle assemblies (if it is 4WD)
-Driveshaft
-U-joints
-Engine's rotating assembly
-Clutch/Flywheel assembly (if it's a standard trans)
The more information on the problem, the easier it will be for us to try and pinpoint areas of concern.

funny you wouldn't start with the simple stuff and then progress with your search .... alignment is something that should be done when changing tires or rotating... I would hav my mechanic check all front end parts while he is down there... same thing when I get the oil changed ... he knows to take a good look around ... and then he will let me know what else I am in for .. or he will ask me questions about how she is handleing or is it making any noises... anyway .. just a rant ..

Further and took things apart I found out the ball joint in the bottom and the and top control arm were gone on both side's. Also the bushings on the right side were also gone. That's when I found out my discs were shot.

Thought so just didn't know what to call it. Well the tire is rubbing when I turn right for some reason. The tires are 265/70/17. They are supposed to be 265/65/17 but the tire shop said they would clear and I wouldn't have a problem. But I've been having a rubbing problem on the other side for a while but i got it to stop. I have never had this issue on the right side. Any ideas why I would be having an issue now?

I have 96 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 5.9 L and I get a strong shaking and vibrations at about 50 MPH. If I speed up a little bit it will stop if I slow down a little bit it will stop if I put the transmission in Neutral while driving and shaking the shaking stops. I am at complete loss as to what is causing the Very rough shaking. I have taken the truck to several mechanics and they have put it up on the lift and inpected it throughly. As a result of their advice I have done the following to try and fix the problem:
1. Changed out tires and ballanced
2. had new universal Joints Installed on drive shaft at reputable Off Road Shop
3. replaced track bar with a new one/
4. replaced Steering Damper Shock absorber
The above changes did not fix the problem I still have the same shaking at about 50 to 55 MPH. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem and what they did to fix it. I really can't drive the truck with this problem It is that bad. I really need to get it fixed so I can use this vehicle. Oh let me mention the vehicle has been sitting and not been driven in 2 and 1/2 years. It had a fuel pump probem and would not start I fixed that along with other things and had hoped to be driving the truck by now but cannot comfortably do that with this vibration and shaking problem.
