1998 e150 Deelegant conversion

1998 E150 conversion. Shimmys/shakes at 65-75 mph. Balenced tires. No change. Bought new tires, no change. Re balenced. No change. Rotated tires back to front, no change. Its in the rear as no shake in stearing. There was some change in speeds affected during all the tire rebalencing and swapping.

Get a second opinion from a shop that works mainly on trucks.

Is it the steering wheel that shakes or the whole vehicle?

I don't know what they charge but on the surface I'd trust their diagnosis over Pep Boys:

Your profile says MI so I went for the middle

FWIW, a pair of Moog brand u-joints won't cost you $50 delivered. I don't know what standard rates and times are but a proper shop shouldn't need more than an hour on a lift, if you're not the DIY sort.
