Steering wheel shakes

I recently installed bilstein 6112 and 5160 lift kit. I kept my original wheels but went bigger on the tires, ko2 285/75/16. After having it for like a month now, I feel like the ride is a bit bumpy and my steering wheel shakes/moves a lot. Would you consider this normal? Anything helps. I'm thinking of changing out my uca but don't know if it will help.

 

Have your tires road force balanced .

 

Most likely tires or needle bearing

 

Needle bearing doesn't casue the steering wheel to shake.

 

Road force balance, OR balance beads.

Do that first. Discount tire does those things, did a good job for me.

 

Thanks. And I bought the tires at discount. I think I get free balances

 

When I first read this I was thinking alignment, but the initial suggestions are balance. Why balance and not alignment? (Serious question, trying to learn).

 

Depends on what you mean by shakes. Could be bump steer which is normal with the heavier tires and lift.

 

don't do the balance beads. tried that in my old atv...doesn't work too well .
