Booty shakin' on the truck....

Lmao. I wanted to put a pun in the title... Anyways, my ass end likes to bounce up and down. Tires are balanced, and there's no noises coming from the axle or wheels, so the bearings are good. I'm thinking it'd be the tires being so poorly worn. Anybody wanna second this? If not, what else could it be? It seems to just be the passenger side, not as much the driver's side. I'm really thinking it'd be the tires, because it had a bounce since I bought it. Another thing.... It only really does it between 35-40 mph and at highway speeds it's noticeable. And when I say noticeable, I mean the entire freakin truck shakes up and down. Soooo, ****ty tires? Errrrr.....?

it's more than likely a combination of the tread wear and the tires are probably out of balance...

 

mine did that really bad for a bit and it also pulled hard to the right. I went to a good tire guy and he rebalanced them and then put them on in a different order so the two inside worn ones werent on the same side. It's worked wonders. Zero pull nowand only a little shaking at highway speeds

 

Well, I'm getting new tires in a few weeks, so if it's them I'll live with it. If not, then it needs to be corrected. My tires are worn terribly on the inside, not sure what from, but they're bald on the inside and new on the outside. And not to mention unevenly worn on the same tread row.

 

they are either worn from bad alignment out of balance bad hubs.... any thing in the front end off can cause some tire wear.... a couple things off at the same time ends up in bad tire wear....

 

i got mine slightly used so of course th guy before me had mangled two of um with his front suspension but i put um on diff sides now in the back and they're wearing true again

 

I just got an alignment today. Driver's side camber is 2*40' and the passenger side is 1*47' AFTER alignment. The alignment actually worsened the camber problems I've been having. I don't think it'd be from the tbars, since it would be about the same on both sides if it was... I know that's contributing. Ball joints are fine, hubs are new, basically have a brand new axle now. New diff and CV's as well. So Idk if this helps at all in figuring it out.

 

Pray it's the tires is all I can say haha

 

Yeah lol I'm pretty sure it is. I just wish I had another set I could throw on temporarily to see if it is...

 

how are the rear tires?

 

Insides are just about bald, with bald patches from being out of balance. I got them balanced a few months ago, and it stopped. But now it picked back up again after I rotated them again to the back. The outside has a half inch or better of tread left.

 

do you have anywhere you can get some cheap used tires? say for like 10 bucks a tire....

 

Eh, not really. 31x10.50R15s are expensive up my way for used.... Mostly because everybody keeps em till they wear out, or sell em because they lift the truck.

 

see if you can find some cheap 235/75/15's just to try and see if the tires are the problem.... and then if it's the problem go get your new 31's if not you'll know something else is wrong with the front end... or atleast that's what i would do.... if nothing else think of it this way... your gonna spend 50 bucks for tires to run to find out if something else is wrong with the front end and if nothing is wrong you only spend an extra few bucks instead of ruining 1000 bucks of tires... but that's just my opinion

 

Well, #1 it's the ass end lol #2 I may very well be getting some 33s from Clinton.

 

good lord.....

 

i say u joint bro

Here's the tires, well tire, that is currently on the back driver's side.


Justin, keep in mind it's only the passenger side of the bed that shakes up and down. Not the entire ass end.

 

yeah from the look of the pic it's the tires being out of balance combined with alignment issue. no i am almost certain that when you get different tires it should resolve itself....

 

I think so too. Especially 12.50s.
