Recently bought the vehicle listed above and it has a wobble vibration in the steering wheel. Have already replaced the following: tie rod ends, calipers, brakes, CV axles, lower ball joints, stabilizer links, alignment, new tires, balanced, new rims. Still getting the vibration at 45+ MPH. At this point I spent $3,500.00 on the truck and have already parts and labor put $2,200.00 into. Still not fixed. help me please.

Hi,

Do you notice any excessive play in the steering? The steering intermediate shaft can be bad. Also, when you say wobble, is it a vibration? Is there anything that stops it? Do you feel it only on the steering wheel? Are there any noises/sounds which seem to correlate with the problem?

I need to know if this is a 4wd or 2wd. Also, take a look at the attached pic below. It describes possible causes.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
