Great thread. My '05 KR also has a wobble/nibble, but it's at ALL speeds above 70mph. The faster I go, the scarier it gets. I thought maybe the alignment's off, but I'll take it in to my local dealer and see what they have to say. I'll let them rebalance/roadforce the wheels/tires and if that doesn't cure it, I'll have the truck realigned.

Thanks to deltascrew for posting the TSB. Now I'm armed for battle with the dealer.

Just took my 05 KR 4x4 on a 1500 mile trip (AL to MD and return). There was no noticable shake, wobble, nibble, etc on the trip up, but on the way back I noticed a slight steering wheel shake. The nibble became more pronounced the longer I drove being more pronounced above 65 MPH. Thanks to this thread and the TSB info, I will address this issue with the dealer tomorrow.

BTW, I averaged 18.3 MPG round trip.
