Hello guys. I am a newbie to the forum and need a little help. My friend has a 1997 Silverado 4x41500 with 33/12.5 16's. 80,000 milesdunlop radial rovers. He has recently has devleoped a vibration from the drivers side front tire. He immediately thought balance, had it redone, then shocks. Replaced them and then took it to a shop that said it could be ball joints as they are a little worn. had a second shop look at it and they said that not ball joints but could not pin point it. Could it be ball joints and if not what is it probably ging to be. I want to help him fix it and just want to know from the experts (other owners) that may have had the same problem.

Thanks.
Jimmy

 

check if front brake rotors are warped

 

Thank you Adam I will do that. Anything else I might look for?

 

Any other possibilities?

 

bent wheel?

 

I was thinking that or a bent spindle

 

bump

 

did you check if the tailgate was closed?

 

I pretty much figure after tonight I can not expect a hell of a lot of help anymore. But what the hell. I am having fun. Maybe a group hug is needed. Anyone up for that?

 

you do know it is only a matter of time till mayfair comes and rains the pictures down on us.
