did you buy chance hit any of the huge potholes langley has formed so far this year since summer? I would suggest cleaning the inside of your wheels, sometimes dirt can cake in there and make it feel off balance, like when a wheel weight falls off. With that said, did any of your wheel weights fall off? On my audi i had that happen once and it made the car undrivable above 90 km/h. Also it very well could be that your tires are just that done.... maybe its time to install that lift and get the new tires on!

How bad are your tires and what kind are they? When my Mud Grapplers started going bald I developed a wonderful little wobble. New Mud Grapplers and no more wobble.
