Wheel shake/shimmy

Hi gang. I searched this problem but haven't found an answer. My 4runner's tires seem to "shake" when I hit a bump and there is major feedback in the steering wheel. I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, it is balance nor alignment because when on smooth road my 4runner is fine. I had the shocks replaced recently. Tie rods? What do you guys think? Tanks!

You'll need to get under the front and inspect your inner and outer tie rods, ball joints and wheel bearings for play which might be causing this.
