it does when i try to turn to sharp, but thats just because of the size of the wheel. Its when I make slight turns it when it shakes. I was told by an alignment guy that my pitman arms are too long and its over working my power steering.

Well, first of all, you only have one Pitman arm. It connects the steering linkage directly to the steering box.

Second, the tire not only rubs on the fender, but watch the frame inside. See if the paint is worn off behind the tires next to the firewall.
