feel like seams in the road??

maybe the front wheel bearings or the intermediate steering shaft, or most likely both.

both are a terrible design, and with bigger tires and any alterations from the stock front end, they both can wear out faster.

I have 70K on my 05 4x4 LLY and just put on both last week from a nasty little vibration like that...

everything but the shocks were covered in my GM PP extended warranty. it was totally awesome. they would have covered the shocks too, but i had just replaced them at like 60K with ranchos when i was trying to figure out what was making all that noise.

so i'm down about $200...

pretty fair deal

Just had a wheel bearing fixed and it didn't go away. The steering wheel doesn't shake but the hole truck seems to be bouncing. Dealer said I'd have to put stock tires on it to eval. it.
So i've been trying to get a cheap set of tires
