    At discount tire doing road force balancing as standard balancing didn't solve a problem driving 50 60 or 70 miles still shaking.

    Did anyone successfully had this problem resolved by doing road force balancing.

    Also stupid question but may be worth it, how often you guys do wheel alignment and where would you recommend to do it?
    Dealer, or other shops that do good job. Name it please.

    I did RFB, took a lot away, also, are you lifted? Some complain of the drive shaft needing carrier bearing spacer kit

    No lift, no spacers just regular TRD wheels with Michelin tires. Got them from the guy with only 6000 miles last year.
    Didn't have much issues except recently started shaking steering wheel. Also sometime when braking.

    There is a thread on here about shaking wheels and pulsating brakes. One member posted info about re-bedding the pads anytime he felt some vibration (high speed stops to heat the pad material up enough and bed new material evenly across face of rotor). He posted a video that was helpful at explaining the process, few videos online about bedding brake pads too. May not be your problem but it is an easy process.

    Thanks didn't know about it. I hope I don't have to go through all thinks to fix this issue with relatively new truck and year old tires
