Every road imperfection resulting in slight steering wheel vibration

[ryhlow9]

Hello all. This may not be an issue but wanted to get opinions. It seems like I am feeling every imperfection in the road as a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Does this at lower or higher speeds. When road is smooth the only vibration I get in steering wheel is from the ICE when it kicks on. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? At first I thought maybe tire balance but had been balanced already. Are the stock tires just crap or is there something that needs fixing here?

This probably isn't your issue but I'm gonna throw it out here anyway. The lane keep assist vibrates the steering wheel when the truck thinks you have left the lane. I turned that vibration down to the lowest possible setting, not off, because it seems to me that the lane keep assist is sometimes too sensitive. It sometimes thinks I am out of the lane when I am not. Is your lane keep assist icon in your cluster turning red when you feel these vibrations? Like I said, probably not your issue but maybe something to consider.

Back when the mavericks started shipping, most of us found the tires to be overinflated. Mine were all at 46psi if I remember correctly. Check your tires, make sure they are at the proper psi

I don't feel any vibrations through my steering wheel. In fact, I just mounted two snow tires on the front without balancing and it's still smooth as glass. Maybe have dealer look at it if it's that noticable.

I thought of that but I have the lane assist turned off so not it. Just seems I’m getting more than what I perceive to be normal road/engine feedback in steering wheel. I can release the tilt/telescopic adjustment lock and that seems to help a slight amount.

PSI is always around 35 but thanks for the advice.

Do you feel it at idle? Make sure the ICE is on. Could be engine mounts.

Occasionally can feel like when ICE is on at idle. Not all the time though.
