I searched several times this weekend, but could not find anything similar to my sitaution. so i am gonna repost this ??

when I come to a stop and make a R or L turn and then start to accelerate, I can feel a slight wobble in my tires, it goes away within seconds (oh yeah only during the actual turn). I have not noticed anything different otherwise in the driveabilty in any other conditions. I have run M/Ts since day one, 1st go around 33 12.50 17 and now Cooper STT 285 70R17s. do I need a new steering stabilizer.. ideas?? thoughts?? Thanks

Is it wobbling, or are you just feeling those large lugs on the tires? Try rotating the tires and see if it gets any better. With my mudders, if I went too long between rotations they would really get rough and loud.

 

I rotate every 3k, I am getting near, so I may pop in there and get it done first before doing anything else.

you can actually feel the steering wheel shutter/shake side to side. Nothing dramatic like everyone explains about death wobble. which from what I understand is tire boucing up and down, not side to side. this feels side to side and it does it for just very briefly and then is done once the tires straighten from the turn, just want to try and catch it before it gets worse and causes more problems. I will do the rotate and see if that works.

ok. this is weird. so i noticed that my steering stabilizer was leaking, so i new it had to be blown. replaced it and then started driving. the wobble was better but slightly still there. 3 days later i hook to my 6k boat, pull it home, still noticed the wobble. hop back in the next and the wobble is completly gone and has been now for 3 days. Maybe i need a vacation, cause I am not sure how this could happen. just strange
