    Hello,

    I have a 2016 Kenworth T680. My truck front end shakes going over 50 MPH. You can see the wheels slightly shaking and the hood shaking a lot. Got new steer tires about 2 months ago. During these 2 months whatever is going on caused wear on the inner driver side steer tire and the middle tread of the passenger tire. The dealer looked at the front suspension and said everything looked good as far as suspension parts. The dealer notice the toe was off and said I needed an alignment. Got the alignment and tires balanced by dealer. Alignment and balancing didn't fixed the shaking. The truck shaked a little bit before getting new tires as well. It's just worst now. I'm not really trying to do trial and error of replacing parts. Please help!

    I also have a video of the truck shaking while driving. I'm not sure if I can upload it here.

    Are you doing any off highway driving? If dealer did not lift front axle off the ground that’s where I would start sir. Check your wheel bearings while it’s lifted. If Ok.. then get a hammer or something to set beside your wheels. Roll the tires by hand and check for wheels being true. Watch the space between the hammer head or whatever you choose for a guide or reference. As you know, this a safety hazard for you man. If tires and wheels are OK. You have a suspension problem sir.
