Vibration in Front Wheels

I have a 2013 Lariat 4x4 and was switching in and out of auto four wheel drive the other day. Now I have it in 2 wheel drive and there seems to be a funny vibration from the front wheels when I drive down the road. Any ideas?

We're you in the mud and muck, are the inside barrels of the wheels clean?

If you do try it, just drive in a straight line in 4wd. You don't want to cause any/anymore damage.

I'd get this in front of your dealership, bamacommander; they'll be in the best position to diagnose your truck and recommend next steps. How many miles are on your truck? Keep us in the loop.

Send a PM my way with your info, bamacommander. I want to escalate the vibration to your regional customer service manager so they can work with your dealer on this. In the message, please include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership.
