Bad clunk and vibration after having wheels rotated and balanced
 
So I had my tires rotated and balanced yesterday and when I left there was this pulse in the brakes that felt like ABS but slower. I had them take off the tire (pass front) and rebalance it and check the hub. All seemed fine but once I got going again it turned into a persistent clunk. I thought it might be a sticky weight hitting the caliper but they didn't use them.

Any ideas?

How is the tire? Belt shifted? Tread separated? Shock bushings?

@HeyYou I had it checked over today and checked it myself while it was on the lift. The only thing abnormal I saw was that my steering bushings are worn out. Moved left/right due to steering but didn't move up/down or tilt. the hubs are new and there weren't ant weights hitting anyrhany... I have no idea what it is/was. I had them put the tire that was there before the rotation back so fingers crossed it helps

Could it be a simple as not torquing the lugnuts properly? That can make some pretty rude noises...... right up until the tire falls off. :D

Well I fixed one problem and 2 more pop up...
I fixed the brake wobble by having the original tire put back in it's place and it magically went away. However on the way home my front u joint had lost a cap somewhere along the lines and came lose, knocking my exhaust Y pipe from the headers off.......... So now I have to bolt my exhaust back on and I'm out 4wd while it's supposed to snow 3 inches every day until Saturday. If I don't have a replacement u joint I'll have my roommate grab me one on his way home and I'll fix it tonight.

Winter is great, ain't it
