Check the "preload" adjustment on the steering gear. With the steering centered, there should be NO free play in the steering wheel. Even a slight movement of the wheel should move the Pitman arm. If there's any slop at all, it will shimmy at highway speeds. The service manual outlines an adjustment procedure, or there are several shade tree methods that work pretty well. I use an inch-pound torque wrench on the steering wheel nut, with the Pitman arm disconnected so I'm turning only the gear assembly.
