Shaky Steering wheel

V8 TITAN · 10-17-2006, 10:34 AM

hey guys. I recently bought a Titan LE Crew Cab in arizona. When we were down there visiting family i ran over a screw and got a hole in the tire. We took it to the shop and they fixed it. The next day we drove home to SLC and on the way i noticed something. When we were on the freeway about 75mph up the steering wheel shakes and so does the whole truck. I drove it home the whole way but i still notice the problem. Its not a horriable shake but its deffinatly noticable. I don't know if its from the fix we had to do or what. Anyone have sugguestions on whats wrong?
Thanks for the Help

If they removed the tire from the rim, they might have knocked off a wheel weight. The weights are glued to the back side of the wheels, not clamped on (no rim) like in the old days. You might look at the back side of the wheel for any evidence there was a wheel weight there.

Sure sounds like the tire they fixed is now out of balance. Also, I bet that tire is on the front of the truck, you should rotate it to the back.
