Shake/vibration
Hello I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with something so around 60-65 mph I get a terrible shake/ vibration, it pretty much shakes the whole truck. I just got brand new mud tires and I’ve had them balanced twice to see if that was the problem and it hasn’t fixed it. I also checked my tie rods and wheel bearings and there good as well. When I had my stock tires it done this as well but not as bad but since getting theses mud tires it’s worse! Any help would be appreciated like i said I’ve had them balanced and no luck so far!

no I don’t think it’s the death wobble I’ve had the truck for almost a year and it would never do it! On my old tires it was more of a vibration now with these It’s like a toned down version of the death wobble not no where near as bad but I can feel it in the steering wheel, center console, door panel pretty much everywhere!

In my experience if you can feel it in the steering wheel the source is on the front axle. Feel in the seat, rear axle.
Also, you can balance an out of round tire but it can still cause felt issues. Road force balancing can help with this. A good road force balancer will determine if you have a bad tire or a bad wheel.
