Default Re: front end shimmy

Bad springs and shocks can cause a shimmy. Do you have any heavy aftermarket accessories on the front? Like a big brushguard or maybe added a factory winch? Those things will contribute to spring wear.

The shocks themselves are only good for about 50K miles, depending on the age of your truck those could also be the culprit.

Control arm bushings are another possibility, if you replace the springs also replace the shocks, and do the control arm bushings while the A-arms are out.
