front wheels feel unbalanced

[meatman]

I HAVE A 2012 LIMITED WITH 8000 MILES AND WHEN I HIT 40 MPH IT STARTS SHAKING REALLY BAD IN THE FRONT END. I CHANGED MY RIGHT WHEEL AND TIRE WITH A FRIEND AND IT QUIT, WOULD THAT JUST BE A BAD TIRE OR RIM

Good news is that it appears you've isolated the problem. Bad news is it could be a number of things. I'd take the wheel/tire to a tire shop and see if they can balance it. If not they should be able to tell you what is wrong with the assembly.

UN-BALANCED

I seriously doubt the RIM/wheel is the issue..... If a HIGH speed balance doesn't fix it ( with only a little bit of weights ) then I think the it's a BAD tire ....................jmho............Mike :thumbup:

i would take it to a shop that can test it under road force, when i had done tires for taxmyzer earlier this year we ran
into 1 tire that just couldn't be balanced & the other took time to fix. Again check under road force to find out if it is a
tire or rim problem.

I'm guessing that you've got a snapped belt in the tire...
But there's lots of folks in here, that know more about this than I do!
Please let us know what you learn about this; Good Luck! :thumbup:

Thanks for the update. Lots of times we hear the problem and they never come back indicating how or if it was solved. :bowdown:

Very important point, feedback makes a forum work and worthwhile and satisfying , leading to greater participation and sharing of knowledge.

again have the wheel/tire load tested where everyone is saying tire issue you want to be sure it is not wheel related.

The OP replied that a new tire fixed the problem in post #7
