Rough steering?

[97splorer]

When I turn my wheels (at a dead stop) the front end vibrates, or kinda shimmys a little bit. I have not noticed it realy before, but I hope it is just because of my tires. I recently had 31" BFG A/T's put on and thats when I first kina noticed it. I just want to be sure that my suspension and or front axles are still good. It only does it bad when the car is stopped and I turn the wheels fully back and forth. Any opinions?

Check your ball joints and front suspension for play.

As mentioned, check for worn or loose front end parts. What you are feeling is most likely due to the added stress of turning a wider tire, but it is possible that something is worn out and the added sterss is making it more appearent.
