- Has it got lift? If so how much, and has it got castor correction?
- What are your wheel bearings like?
- What are your swivel hubs like?
- Tie rod ends?
- Draglink ends?
- Steering box bolts?

From my experience, if i've ever had issues lik this, they have been less obvious with bigger tyres, rather than the opposite.

Check your wheel bearings mate, patrols are notorious for front wheel bearings working loose. I do mine every few months.

Wheel Balance

I think Big Red is all over it.

The bigger the tyre.

The bigger the wobble.

Had the same problem with mine with 37's!
