car/steering shaking???

[ultrajetboat]

my rotors were warped so i replaced both front rotors/bearings, that took care of the shaking while braking but it seems to shake almost all the time now especially at higher speeds. i thought it might be my tires flat spotting, but its doing it after being parking for a few minutes not only after being parked for several days. my wheels are balanced, i double triple checked. tires are inflated all the way. shocks are fairly new bilsteins. what am i missing here?? it feels like something is way out of balance, it almost starts to feel like "death wobble" i got in my jeep when my track bar wasnt tight...but not nearly as violent. could it be the opper ball joints? i dont want to just start replacing parts until i find the right one, this is my rig to drive so i dont put so many miles on my mustang...but i dont enjoy driving it when it feels like something about to fly off of it! thanks - scott.

sounds like a shifted belt in one of the tires. try rotating them to the back of the truck and drive.

I would get it up in the air and start checking every linkage and bushing in the front suspension. A small pry bar and a big set of channel locks are really the only things you'll need.

If a belt in the tire slipped, you should be able to see a 'squirm' in the tread when you spin the tire.

there is a "squirm" in one of the tires...i think. it looks like someone wrapped a rope or belt around the tire, like it left an indention across the rubber. but obviously that has never happened. wouldnt that throw the balance off? i can balance the tires all i want, im temporarily working at an auto hobby shop while im recovering from knee surgery. this is driving me crazy, i drive me mustang and girlfriends lifted wj and they both feel amazing compared to this, this thing feels like its gonna fall apart!
