Any play in the steering anywhere is going to cause some kind of shake. Have you checked the wheel balance? Might have thrown a wheel weight off, thats what caused my problem similar to this.

I changed out the u joints in my axles and put new hub assemblies on mine and it felt like i went from a 60s military vehicle to a 2010 Catty. Well maybe more like a 1990 catty, but still much better. Not to mentions nothing popped anymore when i was in 4 wheel drive
