    I have no way to jack up a truck lol. I got the new steers put on at a TA. My company has an account with them so i will just take to another location to try and diagnose it.

    I've tried the balance stuff you put inside the tires a few times before and I had to take it out. It was awful, I'm not real sure but I think some of the cracks and bumps in the road caused it to throw the balance inside off. You would think it would later balance out on the smooth highway but no, not for me anyway

    I did recall hitting a pretty bad pothole right after putting them on. It was right at the inspection station going into California on i8. #### thing felt like a crater and it was late at night so i couldnt even see it. Maybe that threw it off.

    Well they make you sign that you’ll have them re torqued, within 100 miles or so. Make sure ones not loose. Had a set come off my trailer once.

    Any recommendation I might have will be of no value to you. Your company is going to do what they want.
