Raptor R front end shake

[VARAPTOR82]

My new 23 Raptor R has a front end shake starting at 70 MPH. Feels like a wheel that is unbalanced. Gets worse the more you increase speed. Anyone else experienced this? What's the problem and fix?

Update - I had all of the tires check, balancing was not the issue. As much as I hate to do it, I guess I need to take it to Ford and let them tell me they just don’t know what the problem is. Grrrrr.

Sounds like a tire out of balance. Low air or threw a balance weight.

37s are hard to balance.

No, it’s about the same. KO2’s were just as hard to balance in 2017

That’s where I’d start.

I would take a set of BFGs or Nittos over most other tires. I had a pair of mickey Thompsons on my previous jeep and that sumB took 18oz of wheel weight to balance one of them. They still pulled me off the road they were so bad. I got rid of those for Nittos and all my issues went away.

I had zero issues with Mickeys in 37. Zero issues with these Wildpeak 37s either.

That’s wild. I personally know 3 people who had balancing issues and steering pull on 37x12.5x17 Baja boss MTs
