ok guys, i have some new info and still more questions.today i had my tire shop look at the tire balance again,they decided to use a system which uses silicone beads inside the tire to balance,he tells me the tire is perfectly balanced.tried the truck on the highway and as soon as i hit 60kph the steering goes nuts,but the truck tracked straight.slowed down and tried her again and nothing the steering wheel is dead still.tried again and the steering wheel is shaking like crazy!!!!tried this many times and the result always seemed to alternate.so do you guys think this could be the tires,i mean the tire shop said they are balanced,so the would not be differant on the machine than on the truck,would they?anyone have any ideas i can check? thank you for your time.
