Still Shaking

Well I have taken it into the shop about 3 times now, and they cannot find anything wrong with it. They checked all the steering components, and balanced my wheels and everything. The thing still shakes, and its starting to **** me off. IT seems to do it more when it is cold out? For some un known reason, it doesn't do it all the time, but when it does it, it is hard to keep a hold of the damn wheel. CHECK out the previous post.. anyone else have any suggestions?

The tires are ok though. I had them checked out, and it did the same shake with 3 different sets of tire. IT IS NOT THE TIRES! NO way, they all have flat spots and are worn, they are perfectly balanced. I am clueless right now. ANd it can't be a bent axle, it deffinitley in the front.

I see you have thorougly checked your tires, have they checked your wheels for out of roundness, or possibly a dent in the rim. Those can both throw off the the measurement of the tire balancing machine when they check it and give them different results. Thats just a thought though.

checked the bearings on the passenger side. And seriously it wouldn't be just one set of wheels that are messed up IT WOULD BE 3!!! So I have a hard time believing after all of them are perfectly balanced that it could have anything to do with the wheels or tires. I think I should check the drivers side bearing.. but I think it is somewhere in the passenger side. BUt I am not sure.. it is pissing me off.

Oh where is the fluid level for the steering box? I am pretty sure I know where it is, but just curious?
