so i have had my inner tie rod replaced, new rotors and brakes, new tires, tires mounted and balanced numerous times, even bought a new rim and got rid of the one that was hard to balance. any idea's what the problem is? theres a little shake in the steering wheel time to time, but mostly bouncing in the rear of the truck now. think it's another bad rim? (and no one around has a road force test machine)

 

Without the road force, you are going to have a tough time figuring out the problem. Whether a wheel or tire problem. Other problem it could be is driveshaft could be causing some vibration. Had that problem on my 07.

 

yes i know i have been to numerous counties but in this small town and all around no luck. and i notice it with my stock rims and tires as well just not as bad. how could i find out if it's my driveshaft?

 

I know that the first attempt to fix a problem driveshaft per the TSB, is unbolt it at the rear diff, rotate it 180, and bolt it back up. In my case it did not entirely fix the problem, but did make it quite a bit better.
I am surprised though that the dealer does not have a balancer capable of doing a road force balance. Mine does and has had it for quite a while.

 

Do you feel the vibration in the steering or in the seat of your pants. If the steering isn't shaking then it can be anything from rear brakes, rear diff, or most likely the driveshaft. The only way I have corrected that was to pull the driveshaft and take it to a shop that can spin it and rebalance.

 

well orginally it was in the the steering wheel shaking. i had the tires and rims rebalanced and realigned the truck. better but still not right so i ordered new tires. helped more but came back within 7 miles leaving the shop. i took the rims off and tires off the rims and put stock rims and tires back on. i ordered a new one to replace a rim they had a hard time balancing it improved but now the bouncing is in my pants and the steeringwheel shakes a little from time to time outta no where

 

as well it seems the bouncing is coming from the back passenger side of the truck. but thats what it seems like. when i back out or pull in my driveway slow i can feel the rear kinda feel like i'm running over something

 

Ever had your ball joints checked?

 

yes had them checked at the same time i replaced my tie rods

 

I feel your pain. I've had three different tire/rim combinatons on my truck and several trips to the balancer and I still have a shake between about 48-54 mph. I mostly am embarrased by the bed wobbling around. I'm goint to try rotating the driveshaft tomorrow like kingfish suggested. BTW I have all moog ball joints and tie rod ends and I'm running 305/60's on the stock FX4 rims.

 

Wheels are torqued to the right specs?

 

as far as i know they are. i guess thats the next step to look into

 

sometimes its the little things that you dont really think of (with my experience and luck). Also make sure all 4 tires are at the correct PSI rating.

 

check your rear springs? could be bent.... or loose.... that would cause it to feel like you were backing over something?

 

^^thanks you guys i'll look into them and i'm taking my truck to rincon GA tomorrow i found a place with a road force test and if that fails i'll check everything else as yall said.
