    Bent wheel, defective shock absorber, tire out of balance, out of round or with tread separation are common causes of shaking in the front end. Add loose tie-rod ends, loose idler arm in the steering linkage.

    well tires are new got balance after balljoints, tie-rods, and bering were changed steering linkage's fine so i guess a shock absorber or some issues with the tire but the shock sounds interesting cause is only at hiway speeds when you really feel it, im talking about 55 or 60mph
