macattack Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ok. think i may have fixed a wobble issue i had. transverse rod was loose. anyways one question about a rear tire. the previous owner ran the truck for a few hundred miles with one rear tire flat and off the bead. do you think the tire would be damaged enough to cause a wobble? thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16167-bad-tire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Trucking Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'd be very careful even just airing up a tire that has been run flat.The steel cords in the tire may be damaged even though there is no damage visible externally.Damaged cords + inflation can = BANG!!!!!!!!!!! And it ain't pretty when a tire explodes while you're inflating it..

wastenafarmtrucking Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 yes i have had that problem, twice. both times because the bead didn't seat evenly on the rim. release the air, break the bead and re inflate.if the tire was run flat for the miles you say, it's junk. the belts were probably broke/stressed and the tire is out of round.jack up the axle and put a 4x4 close to the tread and rotate the tire to check run out.
