Replaced bad tie rod end and ball joint Les Schwab aligned auto started shimmying, why
What is your question?
I had a front end shimmy, replaced a bad ball joint and tie rod end. I then took the car to les Schwab for an alignment. They did the alignment and said that the alignment went well and the joints were good. With only about 50 miles on the alignment, the front end is shimmying again. What’s my next step?
What makes this problem better or worse?
At about 30/35 mph the shimmy is no longer shaking the steering wheel

Hello, a "shimmy" in the front end for this vehicle can never be due to a wheel alignment, and will never be resolved by a wheel alignment.
Is the vibration corresponding to engine speed? Vehicle speed? Braking? Cruising? Accelerating?
Perhaps a trained technician near you can give you a legitimate diagnosis and assessment with hands on experience.
