2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Greasable Tie Rod Ends

I've noticed a vibration while at highway speeds and it's starting to get old. I just had the front end done (all the ball joints) and it needed it but the shake is still there. I thought that would have fixed it. I have also had the tires balanced and am wondering if wore shocks would cause this. .



It's a minor vibration but sitting in the passenger seat for the first time you really notice it. You can feel it in the floor, see it in the plastic door panel, and in your coffee sitting on the center console.



It varies with the road even on a smooth road there is still vibration at times maybee it's the driveshaft. I keep cruise control on so the speed/rpm is constant.



Need advice

How did they align it? Too much toe in can give you a shimmy. Kind of like a shopping cart when the front casters are wiggling back and fourth but much less dramattic. Also are the rims straight and true? Are they flush on the hubs reason I ask is it takes the slightest burr so that rim does not sit flat and it can just drive you mad. Also shifted belts within a tire can cause that too (Kinda egg shaping at speed)
