These ?
Is there a definitive way to tell ?
If this was the case and it is the bearings, would I not be able to feel this through the steering wheel rather than the brake pedal.
I spoke to the previous owner again and he said it only started when the bigger tyres were fitted, could this have been an underlying issue that has been exaggerated by the heavier tyres?
......Alllso, the wobble slows as the truck slows which is what made me think it was discs or a rotational issue, would this be the case if it was the bearings?
Sorry for all the questions but its better to get answers from the people who know rather than trying to RTFM
It's possible I guess. Do you have any other anomalies with steering for example? Bigger tyres will expose any weaknesses pretty quick that's for sure.
From my experience the rotors are bloody thick and I would have thought they wouldn't warp, but maybe ?
Well I still reckon a quick 10 mins under the front will find the issue.
Kack it up and have a wobble n a shake
It only takes a few mins to undo the swivel bearing , oik out a shim and refit. AND it's free. :sly
Try that and go for a spin again.
If it's not that then maybe a quick nip on the wheel bearings.
If it's not that then I guess it could be the actual rotors, in which case whip them off for a quick skim. (assuming their not worn too far)
Good luck
If its warped discs the pedal will kick back creating a judder. Usually this is most obvious between 20-50 mph.
