Hi guys, ive had the wheels on my 2.8 pajero balanced, by 4 different tyre places 1 a 4x4 tyre specilist at no small cost, but i still have wobbley wheels at around 30,60 and 85 mph. ive had my wheel bearings ajusted and all ball joints checked and greased. They have all checked the tyres which have only done around 1500 miles,no buttles etc!!
Has anyone got any idea's ( apart from burning the old girl) as what my problem might be
Thanks for any idea's Spike

A lot of 4x4 wheels are notorius for not being able to be balanced.

Have had the steering box checked, thats fine, it seems to be more on the rear than the front

check all the bushes on the rear, axle etc, could be moving whilst your on the road
