Recurring front end shimmy

Recurring front end shimmy
I had a bad shimmy a while back. It just got to where I couldn't even drive the truck. I rebuilt the track bar with a Lukes link and bushing in December. Left front tire had a flat spot on it. I put new tires on. Everything was great until about a week ago. Mild shimmy started again. Now its worse. I can see where this is going. I looked at the front left tire and sure enough its getting a flat spot on it. Anyone have any suggestions. I think I rebuilt the track bar for nothing. Not sure where to go now. Replace everything? Anyone got any links for reasonably priced parts? What are Jobber prices? I saw that in an old thread but I don't know what that is. Thanks.

I had that problem!
after replacing almost everything under the front of the truck then having the alinment checked two times. I found a man that told me the problem without even looking at the truck. he said it happens all the time. The alinement spec calls for to much toe in. he set my truck at about 1/2 as much toe as what is called for. Truck drives great nice and smooth. tested over 100 mph many times.
