Tires are new...all of them. I just put those on about 2 months ago.

I ended up putting a bigger stabilizer shock on it and it "masked" it enough to be safe again. It would only do it if there was an empty trailer on the back. Only thing I could think of is that it put "just enough" weight to make the front at the right point to show the design flaw.
Maybe even unhook the stabilizer to see if it makes it worse?
I don't think so since it has nothing to do with speed, like an out of balance tire. This is is only when I hit a bump or crack in the road, does it get the vibration. Definitely not a wobble.

I did replace that stabilizer shock and it made an improvement, about 50% better. Before that it was unbearable, now it's just annoying lol

I'll do that along with having somebody turning the wheel and looking for movement as well. Sounds like I just need to get under this rig again and start poking around!
