Got an alignment today. It's a little better. Getting equil put in the tires tomorrow morning. Now it just feels like the tires aren't balanced. If the equil doesn't fix it then I'm going to try a steering damper. It didn't happen before I changed the steering and took the damper off. But at around 70 I was getting a slight shimmy. I put the sway bar back on and it toned it down slightly. With the sway bar it went from "ridiculous this is so ****ing ****ed, you're gonna ****ing die when the axle tears out" to "you might die" wobble.
RK double shear.
I'm 99% sure it is the tires combined with a lack of steering damper. They weigh 100lbs each. I put small tires on and didn't feel anything, but I can't be for sure that it's not the weight and size of the tires that are exacerbating the wobble.
Big O checked the balance today and they said it was decent considering how large the tires are, but they are going to do the equil tomorrow.
