Looking at the tire from end (not the side) you
should see some "wobble" from side to side. If so
you'll need to replace the offending tire. This
one drove me nuts (a very short drive) for a couple
of months several years ago, as I kept replacing
suspension parts and readjusting stuff. Hope this
helps.
