My experience with them is they seem to cut the center pin life in half. Try to avoid using them if you can.

I ran them for a long time on my rear 60 when it was still leaf sprung. I got some steel ones, and welded them to the perch, never had an issue. The aluminum ones walk around, and smush down over time causing issues. if you have to run them, get steel ones, and weld them in;)

Shims might be too big , how much caster you got ? And I forget do you have hyd assist, if not maybe put a steering stabilizer on

how r the wheel bearings? I know when My old 44 i had in the front started the death wobble. It was eaither a bad steering stabilizer/wheel bearings/ lost steering componets or slopy ball joint.

After everything is in order on the front axle put the shims in as a tool to see if the caster is out. If thats your problem leave them in for a bit till ya save some $$$$$$$ to get aftermarket c's
