    I have some major vibration/wobbling of the steering wheel starting at about 50mph. I am running Falken Wild Peaks 35x12.5x20

    The tires were installed prior to me installing an ICON stage 2. Prior to the suspension kit, the tires seemed to be ok. After the ICON is when the wobble started happening.

    I am curious to know if you guys think a road force balancing will help since a standard balance did not?

    I hope the tires are not out of round because then I have to go through warranty process.


    Thoughts?

    Make sure that the alignment is correct, especially if the tires didn't do it before the Icons.

    Good point. The shop aligned it when they installed the ICON kit, or so they told me. I paid for it that's for sure. Curious to know if Alignment could get off after only just 1000 miles?

    It's really odd it started having this issue AFTER the install of ICON. I will definitely mention the alignment again.

    The ride is great below 50mph haha

    Does it go away past a certain speed? New suspension can stress parts that may be worn. When I did a lift once on an suv I started to get a shudder from 35-50. It was my cv axle

    In your case I would ask for a printout of the alignment

    50mph its really bad and as I get to 70ish it settles down. Steering wheel will wobble under 50 but it's at 50 that is the worst.

    I had to replace both cv axles and they did it when they installed the icon. I'm really hoping the tires aren't out of round and I can just RF balance and be done with it.

    Road force is better for balancing and make sure your wheels aren’t out of round.
