I got my truck back today and the vibration is gone! Thanks to 04badford and all of your inputs. Thanks to 69CJ for the idea of the grease zerks. First they said I didn't need the alignment cams. They told me that they were not needed. OK, didn't want to twist their arms. I asked for the grease zerks for all the joints and they said it will be about 63 bucks more, which is fine. However, they said the top ball joints don't have enough clearance to leave them there. They might break off. They said that I would have to take the cap off and put the zerk on, pump the grease then take them off. Hopefully the grease will make everything lasts longer. Thanks to all of you for your support!
