    I have a 2004 4x4 extended cab Toyota Tacoma with no mods. (everything stock). The frame has been replaced by the dealership due to rust issues that are occurring with certain Toyota products. I have a wobble in the front right side I thought was an unbalanced tire. It’s not the tire and I cannot figure out what’s going on, someone can help I hope.

    Welcome aboard. Was it doing that before the frame replacement?

    I suspect that replacement, something in the process of repair caused it.

    Howdy! Welcome. As is the usual ritual, please hand over your wallet and we will spend whatever we find, in your best interest mind you....

    Check for; Bent brake rotor, bent rim.....A "wobble" will be in rotating mass....ie hub/rotor/wheel/tire.

    What about replacing the front hub assembly? I’ve been told it could be bad bearings. Thoughts ?

    Could be....But they're not cheap. I'd want some evidence that is where the problem is before I'd start spending. Slack in bearing? Noisy? Put wheel on other side and see if wobble moves with that. Then check run out on rotor. Start eliminating possibilities.

    I literally just placed new: front struts, rear shocks, rotors, and brake calipers.
