Front end shimmy
2001 screw 7700 4x4
Hello everyone! After reading numerous threads about raising the front end to almost level with the rear end, I turned my t bars so that the truck is almost level, and it looks pretty good. I took it in for a front end alignment and they suggested i change the ball joints and put a camber kit in to make it perfect with the alignment, so they did. Everything tracks and steers good, but when i'm accelerating from about 20 to 40 mph i get this shimmy in the steering and worse when i'm slowing down? Is this because the whole geometry has changed with the front end? Or do i have some other worn parts? THe truck has 80,000 mi. and the brakes are all good. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
