yea i bet if you flipped the tires on the rims and had them rebalanced i bet it would go away.....but if you take it to a shop there balancers will test the tire depending on the age of the machine and they might tell you there junk and wont do it or make you sign a waiver or something

Its the tires! Put them in the rear try again. Or buy 2 new ones put the new in the rear and old up front. You can obviously tell well enough to tell us they are uneven. ROTATE!!!

Ok so it would be ok to put the one with the uneven wear in the rear? That won't cause any problems?

I was told at the tire from the tire shop to put the ones with most tread In the back since it was rwd, so thats what they did. So swap the two, even with most tread in front, rear with less tread and un even wear, then my death wobble should go back to the "bump steer" it was before the tires?

So if I put the evenly worn tires on the rear an good one on front, will it cause any problems with the rear then?

Alright so I should get my unevenly worn tires swapped to the rear axel, and it won't cause problems at all on the rear then?
