i dont think shocks would have anything to do with that. have you tried to check if your axle is bent. i know of a way to check it but hopefully ill be able to explain it right thru typing.

take your pass wheel off. take bailing wire or any tye of rod or something that is still strong that will hold shape but you can still bend it. tape the bailing wire to your axle housing near the brake drum. bend the bailing wire so that it is close to the mounting surface on the drum or the outside of the drum. this gives you a very good reference to look at when you spin the wheel to see if anything is bent in the axle.

so you did try that? ive never actually used that technique on a truck before but i figured it would work. i have always used it on my go-kart axles to check if its straight.

that amps holdin up great! its nice to finally have my speakers hooked up to an amp since the last few decks didnt even have the right amount of pre-outs for a 4-channel amp and sub amp.

I was...AM.....able to jack the rear of my Mazda in the air...put it in first gear and then get out and see the wabble in my pass rear wheel...but I dont have the shimmy at any speed...matter of fact just drove it 400+ miles to a car show....jack up the rear...put it in gear and get out, walk around and see if you can see the tire\wheel wabble
