If it didn't do this before then it is possible they aren't balanced properly. I have had this before and the technician didn't mount the wheel assembly on the balancer properly. Repudable shop, so I went back and they re-did it for free.

If it did this before and you had them balanced to try and correct and it didn't, then you will need a more thorough inspection of the front end and tires.

Use this link to find a dealer nearest you. This is the only way to balance and should identify if the problem is your wheel/tire.

had similar problem before

I had a similar problem before, but with my 4Runner. the cause was uneven tread wear. i don't know what type of tire you have, but this could be your problem. Probable causes: improper tire pressure or wheel alignment, which has lead to the eventual uneven wear of the tire. The only remedy for me was new tires.

It could be dangerous. Happened to one of my friends and it ended up being that one of her lugnuts were loose. Check it out immediately, it may affect your brakes too.

I have already checked the nuts on the rims... in fact, I had them checked 2 times! So I know it was from that... good suggestion though....

Man... I guess I will let it ride out a bit more before making decisions....

Thanks though

.. it could also be that your lug nuts were put on too tightly. Make sure they are at the recommended spec..
