Default New Wobble

Hey guys,

Checked the old search function and nothing seemed to pop up with a definite answer. Truck is just under 20k miles, and I just started getting a very intermittent wobble in the front end at speeds over 45 mph. (maybe once every week or two.) Of course it never happens when I bring it in to the dealer, but they have checked out all the suspension and the only thing they found was a tie rod end that needed replacing. This did no fix the problem. I'm starting to suspect a problem with a tire in the front that is only showing up when it gets enough road forces on it. Any other suggestions/ideas to fix this mystery wobble?

One of your front tires probably has a broken belt inside, which is causing the intermittent wobble you described. It looks like you have the stock tires still which are junk when they are brand new, better get some new ones before your truck ends up on the side of the road with a popped tire

Try moving your front tires to the rear of the truck, and if the wobble goes away you know its a tire causing the problem
