    Guys i have this mysterious wobble in steering since around 5k miles for my 2020. Now the truck is at 15k mile.

    I tried everything u can think of except changing tires......

    today i tried inflating more air in the front tires to around 40psi.....the wobble seem to be alot less. On some surface on highway the wobble completely went away. But when i deflate the PSI down to like 30 35 it wobbles alot more to a point you can feel it in my seat.....

    The wobble and shake feel like the car pull left and right

    Also i notice the front tires have deeper threads towards the inside.

    So is this very likely the front tires?

    Thanks

    What about rebalance?

    Every time I rotate mine, my shop checks the balance on the tires going up front.

    If you hadn’t rotated them, I’d say it’s a slipped belt. I suppose you could have multiple tires with a slipped belt so the wobble would happen all the time. Though a tire shop (assuming you didn’t rotate them yourself) should easily be able to spot this.

    I got a wobble that has popped up after a lift and bigger tires. My prime suspect at the moment is the passenger inner tie rod but I need to get the truck up in the air to check closer. Have you check all the tie rod ends and joints?

    I fixed it and found the issue. Its bad tires mostly .....do not rotate your tire if you have no wobble issue. This steering system not tire rotate friendly. I put them all back to before tire rotate the wobble is gone

    That’s not a rotation problem. That’s a bad tire balance problem. It’s just on the back now.

    Then it’s an alignment issue.
