Default Front end wobble our shimmy.

I have. 2011 1500, in the last two weeks the front end has started to kind of bounce or hop rapidly at high speed. I just had the tires balanced and rotated. At low speeds the steering wheel kind of turns back and forth ever so slightly. Any ideas? Thanks

Did this start after the wheels were rotated, or is that the reason the wheels were rotated? A tire with a separated belt or a bent wheel can cause what you describe, so it if started after the wheels were rotated I'd suggest you rotate back and see if the wobble goes away. If so, you'll want to figure out if it's a wheel or tire issue and address accordingly.
