Default wobbles at 110KmH

So for the last little while my truck has be having a very noticeable wobbla when drink at `110kmh. if i drop to 100 or speed up to 120 it goes away. last year i replaced the pitman arm and the drivers side upper control arm and i just recently put on some beefy snow tires. neither of which seem to have helped. any ideas would be great.

Well I wobble pretty good when I drink at 110

Lift your front end off ground and check your wheel bearings, sounds centrifical to me.

you probably have wheel hop . either you need to have your tires rebalanced or you have to take the tires completley off the rim and your going to probably find water. the reason your going to find water is because if you fill your tires with a ****ty air compressor from a gas station of something water gets in the air hose and your tires start to get alot in them

i bought these tires 2 weeks ago. have yet to have to fill them. i really think its something other than the tires. wheel bearings had crossed my mind, similar wobble to what i had in my old front wheeel drive car. how do i check the bearings?

Raise front end off ground, pull on wheel back and forth, you should be able to tell if its loose


Merry Christmas
