Question Death Shake

94 ram regular cab long box with service box installed. The truck about every month or so will start what we used to call the ford death shake at speeds above about 30mph and wont stop until the truck speed falls under about10mph, we solve this by installing a new trac bar which is just toast. but this occurs about every month or 800-900 miles, and all the front end is new,new ball joints upper and lower, new axle shaft u-joints, new steering stabilizer and all linkage, new cam bolts max to 5 degrees positive camber, steering box play adjusted, new wheel bearings and the truck still shakes what causes this trac bar to keep going bad?


Thanks
Chris
