    Good, youd be surprised how many people look over that simple procedure and the problems it causes.

    Yup, our trucks are more sensitive to it as well. A lot of shops will just run your lugs back on with an impact and call it a day. Even slightly off-center and you'll feel it at higher speeds.

    I re- tightened the lug nuts again probably just to make sure and it didn’t change anything. Could the upper intermediate steering shaft be an issue as well? I know there’s a TSB on it. It’s not making any noise or anything though.
