Wobbly steering wheel post-offroad run

Is a wobble a vibration or steering play? Check that your rack mounts and bushings are tight and that the rack isn't able to shift around.

 

Could be the wheel. You might also have thrown a weight.

 

Yea it just kinda wobbles back and forth at a fairly consistent frequency. Definitely not steering play.

 

@TACOTRDPRO1 Looks like a wheel rotation helped. Thanks everyone, we did it!

 

So did you dent one of your wheels? If not, have them balanced again.

 

Doesn't look like it, but I did look at the weights and one of the wheels has significantly less than the others, so there's that.

 

PERFECT YW

 

sounds like you either

lost a wheel weight, or picked up some mud on the inside of your rims, and it is thorwing off their balance... clean the rims very thuroughly, maybe even get in there with a wheel brush, and get all that caked on stuff off... worst case take it to a tire shop and have them re-balanced/rotated. another option that may cause issues is if you have a lift, and larger tires if your alignment may have been knocked out of whack.. the alignment tabs on our tacomas are pretty cheesy sheet metal, and easily bent when on rough terrain (marlin crawler www.marlincrawler.com, and a few others sell weld in alignment tab reinforcements)..

 

It's socal, we don't have mud here

 

Did you go through any mud? Could have mud in the wheel throwing your balance off.

 

dust does the same thing... no mud... all road dust..... it all builds up in your rims and causese issues, and if you say thats not your issue check your treads for keeper stones, as well as lost/peeled off wheel weights.. some shops use either cheap weights, or dont clean the rims like they should to attach new ones.
