nitto mg's starting to shake bad!

guys my nitto mg's are starting to ride really bad. only have about 2,000 miles on them. shaking the steering wheel really bad, and my steering wheel is not straight anymore, it's always turned some to the right. are they just out of balance already? have not even been off road yet. what do you guys think?

If your alignment was/is off it can cause uneven tread wear and possibly the conditions that you are talking about.

what your saying about your problem sometimes suggests a bad ball joint or tie rod, or even wheel bearing or possibly just plain a wheel weight fell off. Just bring it to a shop and have it checked out.

after everything is said and done... go check the balance wheel wieghs fall of every now and then! but once you get the truck back running good and smooth install a steering stabalizer! ive had one on my previous two trucks and they work like a charm! IMO they are worth the money

the Mud graps shake pretty bad to begin with.. so you might have thrown a wheel wieght thus causing the guy to think they were never balanced! thats my bet! good to know shes back runnin good
