    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    So I rebalanced the wheels have them pretty much at zero, except for the rear passenger wheel, which is slightly off, and I’m debating whether to return or not maybe this winter. Steel wheels are a challenge I’m learning. We dialed in the front end with a new alignment and a custom damper set...

    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    Appreciate all the help everyone! I think I have my marching orders. I’m going to address the saddle and rotate the tires to start then possibly follow up with a road force balance. It seems like locking the tie rod (one heim up one down) in place to prevent it from rolling isn’t a great idea...

    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    It's a subtle wobble in the wheel only, truck itself isn't affected. Here's some pics for reference.

    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    I havent rotated the tires but that's also a good idea! I called Belle Tire and they'll "road force" balance them $15 each, not a bad way to get that crossed off I guess but i've had them balanced at two seperate auto shops (not tire shops) without any success in getting rid of the vibration...

    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    I’ve had them balanced three times since getting new wheels recently. Can you explain road forced balanced please? Hubs are unlocked in 2wd. Driveline is all new, how would that affect the steering wheel? I’ll check and lube to cross that off though.

    Wheel wobble at 50-70 mph

    I have new 17x8 wheelsmith steelies on balanced 265 BFG "trail" terrains (more road focused over all terrains) which I'm running at 28psi per JamesDuff recommendations. 2.5 SL 2 BL. 4 degrees of caster with stock radius arms and 7 degree C bushings. I forget what my toe and camber are but...

    Transfer case shifter hitting transmission

    In searching for any fixable vibration/noise in the cabin I came across this over the weekend. I thought I was going crazy hearing a very soft vibration near the cabin floor and upon further investigation finally figured out that I'm not crazy. The shifter on my atlas TC is slightly touching...

    17 X 8 with 4" backspace.

    What is involved in changing your lug pattern? I’m looking to go from the 5x5.5 to 6x5.5 to have these Fifteen52s fit. And what size hub cap is that Duffy?

    Wheel centering help

    Well, I have an update. The tire shop definitely didn’t mount these properly and I’m in the middle of submitting a claim, fingers crossed. I learned how to mount these properly the hard way and will definitely be doing it myself in the future. Wheel shop walked me through the “proper way”, super...

    Wheel centering help

    So here's the issues I'm having with the USWheel Dueces. The lug nut holes are wearing away. I've gathered that the wheels and axles are lug centric, but even with proper torque on the 60 degree conical lug nuts, I'm having a hell of a time getting them to fit properly. Any feedback is...

    16 or 17 inch steel rims? And where do I find them?

    Curious how these wheels are holding up over the last couple years? I've been having issues with my USWheel Dueces 17x8 4.5 BS, the lug nut holes are starting to wear away after 3k miles. From everything I've gathered, the wheels and axles are lug centric but they aren't fitting well so it's...

    Wheel centering help

    I dialed in my front end with some help from JamesDuff and now I need some help with my wheels. I have 17x8s from UsWheel. Issue is there is some play on the lug nuts so centering these are difficult. I have a little wiggle in the wheel and it's driving me nuts. Does anyone have a...

    Who makes the Very Best door rubber??

    Slowleak how do you secure the foam block into the front corner? Looks like you just wedged it in there? Wasn't sure if you tried to put a small screw in the foam to secure to the original hole there.

    Who makes the Very Best door rubber??

    Just ordered everything can’t wait to try this. One more question, what type of glue did you use to hold them together at the corners and onto the bottom of the door?

    Who makes the Very Best door rubber??

    The door seals that I posted from Amazon, you use that for the entire lower portion of the door correct? What about the plastic pushpins on the bottom and the rear upper portion next to the hardtop? Guessing the foam works well in there too.

    Who makes the Very Best door rubber??

    Slowleak I think I'm going to give this a try! I have two separate issues I'm hoping for some feedback with. My drivers side door is sealed TIGHT with the newer DC premium seals, no air leaks, but holy cow is is hard to close. The bottom rear corner also sticks out when closed as you'll see...

    Caster & Radius arm help

    What’s the easiest way to check the bushings? Do I have to remove the arm cap? I tried and those bolts in there are tiiiiiiiiiiight. Guessing a torque gun would get the job done?

    Caster & Radius arm help

    I have a new build with stock radium arms with a 2.5 SL and 2 BL and my current caster is about 1.8. I'd like to get this up into the 3 or so range, which I'm told will help improve handling? So what's the easiest way to accomplish this? I believe I have 7 C bushings, but I'm not sure. My...
