I have a front passenger wheel vibration coming from that side. I thought it may be a bad tire but after replacing the tire the vibration returned. It seems to vibrate when the mph is above 50mph the steering wheel vibrates . i thought it was a flat spot in the tire because I have parked there s truck since May. I went to the tire place and asked about the vibration. The guy looked at my tire and said it looks ok .he lifted up th front end and shook the tire and thinks it had a little play in the wheel. any ideas what this could be?

I checked the tie rods everything feels tight. The wheel did not ant play when I lifted up the truck today. Could it bethe tires needing to be balanced. I’m out of guesses.
Could it be a bad tire on the driver side? The trimming definitely feels like it’s on the passengers side.
It could be a tire but you said you replaced the tire. I would assume a new tire would not be bad. Have you had the tires balanced? With the tire off the ground grab the tire at the 3 and 9 o’clock position and move the tire side to side. if there is any play in the tire rods you should be able to feel it before the wheels start to move. Next grab the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock position and try to move the tire in and out and see if it has any play. if so most likely a bad wheel bearing. Vibration and suspension noises can be tricky sometimes. The best thing to do is start with the basics. make sure their is no loose suspension parts. the wheels are balanced and the alignment is good.
