Shimmy under truck?

[dieselkane]

Hey, i own an 03 250 6.0, with leaf springs in the front, and the truck has 56,000 miles on it (original shocks). I was wondering, is it normal to feel a shimmy under my feet, it almost feels like loose Leaf spring bolts, but i went under and tightened everything, and greased a few things. The shimmy feel is still there, does anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Thanks.

might just be a tire out of balance.

I feel it mostly at slow speeds though, is that still possible? Maybe i just need to head to the local les schwab!

i guess its possible. one of them things id have to feel to really know what you mean exactly.

I jacked up the truck and tried to see if i could move the tire around (to check ball joints) there was no play that i could feel. So I dont think it is ball joints.

Have you lifted the truck? because sometimes they shudder at certain speeds.

No truck suspension is stock. I drive LT 265's.

u-joint or carrier bearing.
