Steering & suspension gurus...need some help

[ThatSickRip]

Ive got a 05 SR5 v6 with about 145k on it. Got it in November, and in February I completely rebuilt the front end because it was loose and I had mulitple components leaking; so all new CAs, new TREs, new CVs, new struts, new sway bar end links and new bushings for the sway bar. I put the DasyStar 1" spacer on it and new Wildpeak ATW3s 265 75 16s. It seemed "tighter" at first, but now Im having some of the same symptoms as before the rebuild: jolting, feels loose, and "head shake" for lack of a better term when hitting certain bumps in the road. Are there any other components Im missing that could cause these, possibly in the steering system? Or is this just a trait of the 4Runner? The fact it did it before the rebuild makes me think its not the spacers.

What else could cause these symptoms?

ETA:

-got alignment after right after install was completed
-retorqued everything after about 500 miles
-tire pressure it at 32lbs

I see all work done to the front end...anything done on the rear suspension? New struts, new strut coils? Also a good idea to go thru everything and check torque after 500 or so miles.

Yep, replaced rear shocks, springs, DayStar 1.5" spacers, sway bar end links.
And I checked all the torqued bolts at right around 500 miles (shouldve included in OP).

Thats whats so confusing. I did replace a lot of things, but after all that it still has the original symptoms I had before the rebuild.

You got an alignment done after all that, right?

Yep, the next morning after install was completed

Did you end up finding the culprit? Maybe get your wheels re-balanced?

Nope, not yet. I thought about it being the tires and balancing, but Ive had unbalanced tires before and it didnt have the same symptoms (different vehicle).

Check your rear lower control arms (bars?). I had some funny steering issues until it finally fatigued and snapped in half. Replaced it and all issues went away. Go figure.
