I think I've solve my steering wheel wobble problem. Not sure it'll work for all, but here is my sequence of events...

Dealer replaced front rotors under warranty
(still wobbling pretty bad @ 65/mph)

I immediatley replaced front brake pads with Napa ceramics
(wobble only a bit improved)

Installed Bilstein front/rear shocks.

I think the Bilsteins did it!! My steering wheel nibble is completely gone. The difference in ride is night & day.

I love my truck again!!

 

Okay!

Now did you have the steering wheel nibble at a certain speed? I have one at about 50-70 mph but around 60 mph its the worst.

 

Well that is what i will mention to my dealer next trip. They replaced the steering rack and front roters last visit. That did reduce the nibble a bit, but it is still there.
I am also going to get the ceramic brake pads as the factory ones just create to much work for me when it comes to washing my rims.

I certainly hope your fix is truly the problem. I just ordered bilsteins for my truck. Will let you all know if it works for me too! In any case glad it worked for you

 

Alright everyone needs to post the speeds that they are having the steering wheel nibble at.

 

Warped brake rotors are only going to cause a problem when the brakes are applied. Mine was jerking pretty bad under braking at interstate speeds. Had rotors replaced Monday and so far all is good. They didn't replace the pads though so maybe this is a good time to get some Porterfields.

 

Mine seemed to get worse between 65 and 75.

 

I have a bad nibble when stopped. The steering wheel shakes and the passenger seat and the middle console shakes pretty good too. my dad has an 04 lariat and his is the same as mine.

 

Do you mean when braking? If so, take it in and they'll give you new rotors under the TSB.

If it does that when your stopped, find a priest.

 

Mine is at its worst at 65-70 MPH

 

That goes for me as well!

maybe between 40-45 mph has a slight nibbe but that happen in my 01, my 04, and my dad's 04. Guess thats common. Think thats the transmission. XCAL tunes should fix that. Just hesitant about the tuners. But like i said when stopped has a rough idle. Tachometer is not budging though so i dont think i should worry bout that one.

 

63ish to 72ish

right hand pull...any speed above 1 mph

 

Thayer i had a bad shake in frt end (there is a thread ) at 15k only shook while cruising at 45 up . They put on new rotors and now at 22k no shake in front. Now this was a violant shake i had, not a nibble . The shake was like the front wheels comming off.

Also at 22k the ride is not like it was new. I'm all for new shocks but are this bilsteins that good or would a new shock replacement give the feeling of better ride with any quality brand. My 99 150 rode really bad at 60k . My tires where old but not bald . Guy told me they break down inside . So new tires went on also felt like they replaced the shocks too. Ride was back to new.

 

45 to 50
