Some of us aren't on every day, and there may be only a few that may have knowledge of a shop in that area. Be patient, it may be a few days before you get a helpful answer.

Have you done anything yourself to try to fix the problem? Replace ball joints or tie rod ends or anything? Check wheel bearings to see if they are loose?

Before you go and throw a lot of money at the front end chasing ghosts, use the search function and read up on the billions and billions of threads on the subject here. As for me, I completely rebuilt the front end on my 91 including new springs, bushings, and the forward left spring hanger. Didn't help and there was nothing left to replace on the front end. So were was my death wobble coming from? The rear brakes were out of adjustment. Once I got them correctly adjusted the wobble went away. When it comes back, I readjust my rear brakes. Weird, huh. But I had 2 1st gens doing the same thing. The point? Check out everything you can before wasting a lot of unnecessary time and money. What I haven't been able to solve is what I call the basket ball bounce. Only occurs at low speeds, slowing down.
RIP 91.5 W250 5 speed. The great experiment.
92 W250 HD 47RH with Compushift. Upgraded H1C to 62/60/16, Scheid Lightning VE, 60# valve springs, DAP 7X.010 injectors, 4" DE exhaust, home made cooler tubes.

front end is partially rebuilt. the last guys who worked on it changed out the tie rod ends and called it good. there is still visible play in the drag link. i would do it except for the fact that im about 1000 miles away for work. mongo
