Well, I replaced my tires after I was sure that was the cause of my vibration for all the reasons stated in my earlier post. I bought Bridgestone Revos and had them installed in a shop that had the Haweka adapter and roadforce balancer. The truck felt identical to the way it was when I brought it in. What a disappointment. The Revos are the quietest tires I have ever owned and handle great however.

My front end received new inner and outer tie rod ends during the recall and the shop could not find any problem except said the ball joints were loose. The ball joints were replaced last summer and when told this seemed to back down a bit. I think they were trying to hit me up for some repair work. Anyhow, I'm very confident my front end is in good shape and is tight.

I'm starting to look at rear wheel bearings. My rear tires have some play in them from side to side (axial play). Does anyone have this same issue? I have been living with it because I feel that if it is a bearing issue it will eventually make noise and my truck is quiet. I was thinking that they may be wearing down and that is the cause of the slop. When I tightened my front bearings it did seem to help but only minor. My vibration feels like the grocery cart that I get everytime I do the shopping yet everything seems tight.

Let me know what you find, Vern.
