bigger tire question

[glock21]

Ok so I put 32s on my sierra and now if I hit a bump I get a death wobble up front, I took them to get balanced and it worked until I put a heavy load in the bed. My ball joints are all good, any other ideas of what it could be. Never had the prob with stock size and its only at speeds around 30mph. Thanks guys.

Have you checked the alignment?

Track bar bushings maybe..

Have someone kick on the truck and crank the wheel from side to side slowly, while you look under the front.

You should see movement in something under there before the tires start to move.

Yea that's good. One tire is worn a little weird, don't know if that would cause it.

Start on the corner with the oddly worn tire, your worn steering or suspension component is probably on that side.

back in the day you needed a steering stabilizer when you went to bigger tires.
I'd bet that will fix your steering wobble.

I'd also put money down on a bad idler arm....BC they all have bad idler arms.

I just put them on. They were just some wheels and tires that were lying around. The tires was already worn. I'm thinking maybe I need a stableizer bar or something.

That is a myth, it may reduce the appearance of death wobble at first but wont do any thing to cure it.

Like a bandaid on a bullet wound..

Start here and you will find the problem!

That's what I was thinking. Do you know if that's something I can do with basic tools.
