I just put 4 new tires had it aligned tie rod end that the mechanic said i needed still does the same thing. can someone tell me if they had this problem and what could it be? thanks

ok had my trucked in shop to a guy i trust in being knowledgable . he checked u joints said they was fine checked drive shaft said it was straight no problems said cv joints was fine. said a couple of tires was an ounce off or something but didnt think that was it he did say i had some sound coming from rearend but that wouldnt cause it to shake or vibrate driving 70. he wants to keep looking but it is sounding that he wont find out what is causing it and that is bothersome. i have to drive this truck to north carolina thursday and i dont want to shake all the way anyone have anymore ideals of what is wrong.
