Hi everyone, for the past month or so my steering wheel has been shaking when a drive any higher than 100. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to stop; took of the tires and washed the mud off the inside of the rims, rolled them all and checked for separations, and I just got the all re-balanced. And I don't think my truck needs an alignment because I cant see any uneven wearing on them, and the shop that balanced them didn't say anything about there being any strange wearing on them. Any ideas (other than don't drive any higher than 100) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Did you rotate them when you took them off????

 

No, they weren't rotated just taken off one at a time then put in the same spot. If I rotate them will it help somehow?

EDIT: They have only been on for 2500 km since the last rotation. I usually wait until 5000.

 

Check your wheel bearings. Just changed mine out cuz my wheel was shaking. Then again, my tires was f-ed too so who knows

 

I haven't had a chance to check out the wheel bearings yet. But for what its worth the shaking has progressed from the steering wheel to the entire truck now. I feel the most shaking at about 110 and it feels like I'm going to rattle out of my seat... Not too sure what is going on with it.

 

did you check the ball joints??

jack the front end up grab the tire at 12 and 6, and try to wiggle back and forth or jack up the front end and get a leverage bar under the tire, and pull up, if theres any give, ball joints are shot.

its prob the driving at 110. the trucks arnt suppose to driven at those speeds, they wernt designed for it, and unless your running some z rated tires, your tires wernt either

 

don't speed

 

He's in Canada...100 KPH.

 

i think hes talkin KM/H being canadian..... could be wrong though. and i think the stock tires atleast the rugged trails are T rated so there up to 118 mph. i agree our trucks definatly arnt designed for high speeds though.

 

I would agree that one of the wheels is out of balance or out of round. Maybe a worn front end part or even a possible warped rotor?
