The front under carriage has what is called a main drag link, it ties from one wheel

spindle to the other, the way to check it is to grab it with both hands if you can move

it and has lots of play, this is your problem. but if you did modifications to your truck,

you may have to purchase a modified version to correct the changes made to your

truck. if worn out can be replaced, but because of modifications you may have to go

with one that fits your truck . good luck!

Start by checking for loose front end parts. If the problem started after all the work was done I would suspect a tire or wheel problem. Try swapping another set of tires and wheels on the vehicle and see if the problem goes away.

Front end constant wobble 2008 kia sportage. I have replaced tires, rims, struts and had 4 alignments. I'm at 80,000 miles and it has gotten much worse. Pulls hard to one side.

Could be control arm bushings
Sway bar links
Wheel bearing
Ball joints
Rack and pinion
Lift car and shake the tire from side to side, then top to bottom. Any play or wobble means parts are worn and need to be replaced

Vibration in front end while driving. steering wheel shaking. stops at higher speeds.

Have your tires checked for tread separation and your wheels checked for balance. Out of balance tires will go through harmonics such that at one speed it will vibrate a lot more than at another (higher or lower) speed.

Shaking and Front passenger tire keeps wearing

damaged the lower control arm of the suspension
the shop doing the wheel alignment is clueless as it is not possible to get the alignment figures with any damage and they should have given you a report to that effect
Take the car to an accredited front end specialist shop for a check of control arms , bent strut and have an alignment done on the rear first then the front
claim any excessive cost on insurance

I have a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle that is shaking while driving. It usually shakes when I reach up 55 or 60. I do have a hole on the muffler just before the catalytic converter. "I think". Not sure...

This is most likely an alignment a tire issue. The first thing to check is your tires. Make sure there aren't any foreign objects stuck in the tire tread. If you don't visually see anything take it to mechanic that can balance your tires and check your alignment.

Front driver side wheel shakes wile driving 60 mph and or lower

Sounds like the tire is starting to delaminate. How old are the tires? If you take the wheel off the car, you may be able to see a bulge in the tread. What is happening is the thread is starting to come loose from the steel belts underneath. It can happen to any tire with age. It's a serious problem: eventually the tread will separate completely, while you're driving, and throw the tread all over the place, most likely damaging your car. It could even cause you to lose control, or it could hit someone else, whatever. Gotta replace it, and soon.

If it's just the one wheel, not a shimmy in the whole car, I'd say the tire is going bad. It could also be a loose/worn out balljoint: with the front wheel(s) off the ground, try to move/shake each wheel. If there is any 'slop' in the wheel, you have a bad balljoint. Which requires professional repair, if only for a new alignment once the work is done.

Good Luck!

The stering

I would check your front tires for any defects if there is none noticeable I would get a front end alignment. Most of the time you can tell if you need a alignment if your car pulls to either the right or left while driving. Hope this helps.

Vibration at 70mph after new tires and alignment and much trouble shooting

it could be as easy as checking to see if you have a dented rim.....

or as expensive as changing the "constant velocity joints" but only if it is a front wheel driven car.....

how are your shocks?

have they repacked the rear bearings..."but only if not rear wheel driven car"
