'99 AWD 5.0., 193,000 mi. Front end wobbles. I feel it in the steering wheel too. Worse vibration with speed. Only happens in motion so I know it isn't the harmonic balancer. Steering rack, inner and outer tie rods have less than 3k miles on them. Both front bearings have less than 10k miles on them. Alignment was done when I replaced the steering rack. I do not recall hitting any potholes or the like. Brakes are definitely not old enough to cause this issue. Lug nuts are all tight. It seems to be getting worse, and pretty quickly.
Could this just be a tire issue?
Could this be a ball joint issue? They've never been done. There is no noise like a clunking or grinding, even when turning the wheels lock to lock or going over regular bumps in the road.
Little help, please!
