x2 on the bushings. and check all of the linkages for tightness if your ball joints went out it could have been enough to kill your bushings and new ball joints could show other items that have worn out.

Doesnt sound as if the balljoints was the problem.
Have someone sit in drivers seat, turn the wheel back and forth semi quickly to where the tires just start to move. (Dont start it) Lay under the front and look for movement from something that looks as though it shouldnt. You have something worn out/loose somewhere in steering, suspension, or wheel assembly.

Track bar or wheel balance. Alignment will not cause a shimmy unless it WAY out of wack, but on a Jeep, something would have to be really bent up to cause the alignment to be off enough to cause a shimmy.
