Hello, I have balanced the wheels and got a front end alinment. When I get on the highway the front still shakes. When i hit a bump on the highway it feels like the front wheels bounce or shall i say shimmer. What can I do to fix this. I was thinking a stablelizer bar replacement. Adam

If this is like a complete body shake usually at 50mph or more especially when you go over abump or pothole then you need to adjus your swivel pin preload. There is a really good article on this at the link below. You can try and change out the steering damper and put a higher spec bilstein one on but this will probably only help a bit. This article makes it really clear

Good luck
