Front end issue
Hello so I've had my expedition for a while now and had alot of issues. But don't have the 💓 to sell it as my child was born in the passenger seat of the car. But I have replaced the outer tie rod ends. Shocks. Upper control arms lower ball joints. Sway bar links. Tires Tim's... And possibly more... And the allignment is damn near perfect and I checked the camber and it seems to be in an acceptable range I could be wrong. I'm in a position where I can't afford a shop to do another alignment. But my problem is I get alot of shakeing and vibration almost a shimmy like response when I hit bumps and it doesn't sound very good I used to have a bad issue wish a violent death wobble at certain speeds and around corners. But after getting rid of a bent rim and a few other parts that problem has gone but just need some help with the rough riding condition of which me truck drives any feedback would be helpfully thanks

On the Gen1 Expies you have to look at the pitman and idler arms in the steering linkage. Idler arm typically wears out first. But at that age both could be shot anyway. Have someone turn the steering wheel each direction while you lay under the truck looking at the steering linkage.
