Front end lowspeed steering vib.

[crjarvis]

98 2500 Ext Cab. 70K mis. I have a vibration in the front end that only occurs when moving a very slow speeds (less that 10mph or so) especially after driving at highway speeds for an extended period of time. Seems to be especially bad when steering wheel is turned while moving at slow speeds. Any ideas? No problem during normal driving at speeds above 10 mph.

If yours is a ...

4X4, it might be one of the wheel joints. If two wheel, check those wheel bearings for side play.

Is it a 4X4? I may be the u-joints on the front axle ?

I just went through this also, and it ended up being 2 bent rims and 1 out of round. These were factory steel chrome and they took 10-15 ounces to balance.

I just switched them out and the most it took with the same tires was 2. 5 ounces.
