Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
I have an 08 Pro4 with just over 2,000 miles on it. I drove over 500 miles this past weekend and I dont have any problems with any kind of wobble or shake.

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
do a search - there's others that have had problems with this very issue before the 08's...I have an 04 thats had this issue at 45mph and 65 mph. the dealer told me it was the tires for over 3 years and have done every kind of balance and tire swap imaginable. their latest fix was putting two washers on the end of the drive shaft that helped a little bit but the vibration is still there. I've been fighting this for 3 years and I'm contacting Nissan for a resolution. Apparently Nissan is aware of this issue because there is a TSB out that requires shims in the leaf springs (I think someone already mentioned this) but this sure seems like a temp. fix. Good luck.

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
sorry I forgot to say my truck is a SWB.. plus there is two different things going on with my truck... front end/tire wobble at really any speed over 45mph worse
on rought roads.. Then a high speed side to side vibration that is going threw the truck and seems to get worse when going up a hill (I.E) when the motor is making more power..

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
My '08 SE LWB does not have any vib yet. But I never had the factory tires on it - switched them out for the Revos prior to driving it off the lot. This does sound like a tire issue to me but I am unqualified and know nothing.

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
Same exact problem with my '07 SE CC, bad vibration between 70 and 75mph. The dealer has rebalanced my tires a few times, with the problem still existing. I took a known good set of wheels/tires from a friends Titan, and the vibration was still there. My driveshaft also has several weights welded to it, in various spots. Let me know what happens.....

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
1st update is as fallows.. one of the rear tires was wayyyy off on the Road force machine so they are out driving it now... maybe the vib problem.. now they are looking into the front end bounce also
the factory rep just happened to be at the dealer so he is involved..

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
I hope I'm wrong, but I think Nissan is wasting your time. I've talked to others with the same problem and everyone has said that the dealer has changed the tires over and over and over and over again with the issue not being resolved. I don't know why some of our Titans have this problem but apparently neither does Nissan. I also have the weights on the driveshaft but doesn't everyone?

Re: 08 with death wobble & vib
Mine is a SWB.
I'm counting three of us now with multiple weights on the driveshaft AND a wobble. Anyone else count their driveshaft weights? CD |
