I was getting on the freeway In Arizona and my RV started wobbling real bad maybe 20 mph. I pulled over and had a flat on the front of my truck the tire was wasted and the axle was turned all the way to the right 🤷🏼‍♂️ it happened while I was making a left hand turn to get on the ramp. I couldn’t find the same brand tire so I replaced it with a Toyo same size. I finally drove it after a few days, I noticed it’s wondering a bit and has a vibration. I might have messed up the alignment.

Two wheels were completely out of balance. Third one was a tad bit and last one was good.
Force road balance done and the steering feels different. It appears that the issue is resolved.

I just have about 1300 miles on the truck. And this is something I felt all the time.
Till 60 mph, the truck feels good. But from 70mph onwards I feel vibration on the steering wheel.
There is no vibration on the gas pedal. 80 mph onward, the vibration on steering starts bothering me.
Shall I get the wheel balanced? Don't want to go to the dealer.
Thanks
Yes all new trucks require it right away!
