I also forgot that when my steering stabilizer went out, I got death wobble. Check for oil leaking out of it.

Steering stabilizer was replaced about a year ago, and still looks good. No oil leaking.

I do have a lot of grease around my steering box, but I think that is because I over greased the fitting at the pitman arm and the excess grease went all over the place. Nothing is loose around there.

Is 20 psi about right for these tires, or should I go higher?

So I did the old "business card" test - supposedly if tires are properly inflated for the load weight, a business card can be inserted between the ground and the outermost tread block about 1/4". Well at 20 PSI, I can't get any of it under the tread, which means I probably need to bump the pressure up to maybe 22-24 PSI. I also need to check the toe-in. I think my front end is knocked out of alignment a bit from the last offroading excursion.

Thats way too much air! Try using a paint marker and draw a straight line across the tread. Then drive and see where the paint is wearing. I have the same tires, and I run 14psi on the street (highway included)

Well I got the tires balanced today after removing all of the airsoft BBs. Took a lot of weight, but it made a huge difference. No more wobble, all the way to 65 mph. I'm keeping the tires...

Very Happy

Got the dynabeads installed last night in the front tires - man what a difference. Very Happy

Ordering 4 more bags today, 2 for the back, and 2 to pay Jon back with.

Front tires ride as smooth as silk now...
