Cant Keep The 96 On Road...

Got a 96 2500 CTD LB Reg Cab...sometimes when driving down the road and i hit a bump the dang thing shakes so hard i think im going to die. when i look out the window the tires are wobbling left to right real fast. wont stop until truck is stopped. wheels are balanced and on tight. front end is all new. gobbles up track bars pretty quick. everything is right i just dont know why its doing this...
any ideas?

This sound svery much like the dreaded Death Wobble....you say everything in the front end is new...that may be, but something is not right. As far as I know, its usually caused by worn track bars, bad ball joints, bad tie rod ends, lack of tire balance, or something else out of wack in the front end.

How many track bars do you go through?

the front end alignment also has a lot to do with the death wooble,you need to run a lot of caster.
