As the title says my truck has recently developed a bad wobble. So far I have balanced the tires and rotated, replaced steering stabilizer with bilstein 5100, replaced bushing in the track bar and I don't know what to do next. My truck goes on a tv show next week and I would like it to not ride like a wagon when I drop it off for the guys at motorhead garage. I would really appreciate some suggestions from some guys who may have a solution without replacing the whole front end. I can't take it anymore.

Is the wobble in the steering wheel or do you feel it in the seat? How many miles on the truck? Is there a bent wheel? What are they planning to do to it and why can't they fix it while it is in there? LOL

It bounces the whole truck, no bent wheel. They are doing an install of mag hytec diff covers and high capacity trans pan. The show will air on Fox Sports South in a few weeks from what I understand.

Got any stockers or anything you can throw on it? An out of round tire will balance. Im not sure about a broken belt tire

What brand tires are on it? Had some Thornbirds once that did the same thing, they wore unevenly and shook the hell out of the truck. Sounds like you have flat spots.

My M-16s on my 08 rode like that right before I replaced them with Toyos, which made it ride smooth again. I had a hop at like 50-55 or something real bad and slightly every other speed.

My m16s have been riding like that for a little while now. It makes me want to commit suicide when I get to 70 mph LOL

Mine start the beating at around 41 and kind of smooth out around 60, so basically they just beat the sh!t out of me at every speed I travel to and from work. It's great I love it, said no one ever. I miss the look of the my mud grapplers but they only lasted 14k, however they rode great
