Re: Front-End problem
Rick I did a tie rod ends search....
Jack up one side of the vehicle so that one wheel is off the ground. Have a friend rock the wheel as if the wheel was making a turn. You then lay under to observe the steering linkages. Look for any play in the tie rod ends, center link, idler arm, pitman arm and you may have to remove the splash pan to do this. When you have done this, get a pry bar and put it under the wheel and rock it up and down and look for play in the ball joints. Jack up the other side and repeat. If you find anything, you can either do it yourself (the repair) or take it to someone who can but at least you will have an idea and this is a good start.
If all is good in your front-end, then swap out the front tires for the rear ones, if you have a bad tire, this will move the shimmy away from the frontend.
