I got the SHAKES!

[IBSTROKIN]

Tires balanced,new shocks but still have this stubborn shake at just about any speed but worse the faster I go.Any clues?

Which size/age tires,wheels you have on your truck? Is your suspension modified with a lift,blocks,springs?

I know after I had a new set of tires put on the front end would shake which turned out to be they just needed to be aired up some more.

My bad,sorry.Truck has a little over 52000 on it.2WD not lift or lowering.Tires are 265,75(I think) 16 on factory aluminum,right?, rims.10 ply tires which I think may be part of it,but they have about 20000 on them.Made by YKS Ithink.They were cheap when I needed them and was low on funds at he time. The shake I have is not that bad at around 25-45,but the the faster I go,the worse it is,but SOMETIMES like if Im on the hwy, it stops and rides pretty good from maybe 65-75 but over 75 or so most of the time it shakes so much I cant stand to be in it.Alot of times I can be on a good smooth road and it shakes bad at around 50,but it smoothes out some.Its drivable,but getting annoying.

Never heard of the brand,perhaps trying a different tire pressure or have you already visited that avenue?

YKS is kinda popular around here on bigger trucks,mainlky becuase the yare cheap,like $45 a piece.but yes,I did try changing pressures,not better either way.

How about your driveshaft.., Have you checked to see if you've slung a wieght or something? While we're on the weights, are they all on your new tires , I once was talked into trying some Daytona's and while they were being balanced I took note the SMALLEST amount of weight needed was over 3.5oz's , one was 6 something so if one of them got slung, you'd know it. (I told they guys before the tires were installed to go ahead and order my Bridgestones ) Are the U-joints in good repair, ball joints? I'd say you really want to know what's up.

If you are suspecting tires, have you rotated front to back? Is there any play in the steering?
