front end shimmy on 81 300D

I had the ball joints and tie rods replaced about 2 years ago. I've noticed while driving that there was a rumble at highway speeds. When driving at 20mph, the steering wheel moves from side to side...a shimmy. The steering wheel also has quite a bit of play in it from 12o'clock to 2 o'clock. What should I look for since the front end was rebuilt recently?
Thanks,
Clint
