I bought this truck 3 months ago.
Dealer that i bought the truck from installed new continental highway steer tires
and new front shocks.
When we left the dealer the trucks RH front wheel acted like it was going to fall off.
We go back, and they somewhat balance the tire on the truck and we go home
with wheel steel wobbling little.
I had my local shop install the centramatics and it still didnt fix it completely but wobble was very small.
Few days ago my driver calls me and tells me the wobble is really bad now and there is cupping on the inside of the RH front tire.
He goes to a truck shop and they swap the front wheels and balance them again.
Monday my driver tells me that the front RH wheel now feels like it is going to fall off, it is wobbling really bad.
He took the truck to Nextran Volvo in Tampa next day and they tell me that both of my front wheels are bad.
I got so mad, but still had to suck it up and listen to him talk to me like i am stupid.
How can they both be bad when only LH front wheel wobbles?
They tell me that they will receive the wheel hole to stud alignment tool tomorrow and then they will align the wheels
properly and that shold fix a problem untill i buy new front wheels to replace those on the truck.
If that doesn't fix it they are saying its the wheel hub.They are guessing whats wrong with the truck.
I am so mad now.
If anyone had similar issue with their truck, please help.
Thanks Ben.

Check the torsion bar(s) and frame for structural damage....could be the rig was involved in a wreck that twisted the frame.
-
I will ask the Volvo shop where the truck is located if they inspected all the moving suspension parts.
I got my hopes that is the brake drum that lost one of its balance weights. -
Have your king pins checked
-
Or the king pin on the wobbling side
-
I had the same issues on my 04 670. After several alignments and several ruined steer tires, new king pins and bushings finally cured the problem.
-
Believe it or not, the cure was aligning the wheels with special centering tool on the hub. No more wobble.......
