shimmy shimmy shake
'15 JK Sport 16k miles
Just did steel coil cap leveling kit, mounted Fuel Coupler 17x9 w4.5" BS ~ Nitto Ridge Grappler 305 70 17 42 psi w/balancing beads.
(Well trusted tire shop suggested the beads and 42 psi)
Wife drove JK home while I hauled old tires wheels in my truck.
Steering wheel shimmies /oscillates left n right at 30 40 50 mph.
@ 60-72 shimmy goes away.
Dropped to 35 PSI, shimmy got worse at 30 40 50 - smoothed out to ZERO @ 60mph - crazy bad at 65, 70, 75mph
new Gorilla spline lugs torqued to 100ft lb at 50 miles, then again at 150 miles.
Am I looking at PSI issue? or balance beads issue?
It's my 27 yr old daughter's JK and she is freaking out, as she took it to OCMD last night.
AND ..
Brand new TPMS sensors only read 2 front wheels ... after 700 miles.
