Hey Boom sorry about the hijack of the thread. So is the tie rod end and drum part of the shaking? Depending on the style of steering you have there is something call a "Pan Head Bar" and according to one of the techs at my work who is bing into offroading took a gander at my truck and discovered my pan head bar is loose and he said that could also be a part of the shaking. I don't know if you have one or have ruled that out but it is worth a look.

Panhard bar.

A Panhard rod (also called Panhard bar or track bar) is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle.[1] Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since.

(The spelling police strike again! muhahaha)

Yeah, it is the bar that connects at an angle, like the middle of a Z turned sideways. (The Z not the bar LOL)

No worries. Basically the shaking was happening from the day I bought the truck a couple of months ago. As soon as the truck was in decent driving condition I went to get it inspected knowing that it would fail just so I would be able to legally drive it for the next 15 days(incase it snowed so I could get to work). If you look at page 2, 3rd post down in this thread I posted a list of parts I had just ordered which were necessary to pass virginia safety inspection. I was going to wait until all the parts were installed before addressing the shaking issue again. Basically...

Well i've been working a really screwy schedule so im still working on getting my parts installed. But I did find out that I have a good amount of PLAY in my CV joint and the u-joint thats between cv joint and the diff. This could certainly be the cause of my shuttering... heres a pic of my ride since i havent posted one yet.
