Odd steer tire wear, wobble in the front end over 50mph?

Pictures of those tires please. Normally caused by rear axle alignment problems.

 

I have fought the same wear pattern on my fleet for most of my career!!! The best results I’ve found have been:
1. Retorque all wheelbearings
2. Check suspension bushings repair if needed, 3 axle alignment.
3. Make sure your steer tires are mounted with dry air, with 10 or 12 oz of balancing compound.
4. Changing from a narrow tire to one with. Wider footprint.

I’ve made these updates through my fleet in this order. So far I’ve kept this type of wear to a minimum. But every time I seem to get it figured out, it comes back.

 

We had to up grade the last AG 100 here. It had some worn out threaded bolt looking connectors on both sides between the drive tires. Told they are not available.
Check the other bushings and wheel bearings as mentioned.

 

How long have you had those tires?

 

1) Get a true 3-axle alignment from a reputable shop that actually adjusts the suspension and steering components and not just “says” it checked out ok. Tell them you want a print-out of the readings before & after and ask what they adjusted.

2) Get yourself a set of Centramatic wheel balancers for the front axle. A set of 2 (1 for each side) will run about $200 and are worth every penny and then some.

3) Issues solved.

 

Do you use Centramatics or Balancing Beads?

I used to have the same problems on my steers until I installed Centramatics on, now the steers wear as smooth as glass.
