Suddenly @ around 30 Mph the front end had developed a slight wobble..eek not good !![Shocked](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/shocked.gif)
I jacked it up, no play that I could find in tie rods,, ball joints tight alignment good.. hmmmm....
After removing the front tires I found the culprit, one of the front tires had a slight bulge, the steel belt had slightly shifted !
Took it to my friends shop with 2 new tires to balance on his digital tire machine, and problem solved. All good now,
go figure.

In Michigan pot holes destroy the most tires.

I was in a hurry to get them immediately replaced. They were a mud/snow tire by Arctic Claw Never took photo, They were 6 years old and well worn out ~!

Ah okay, nothing that I need to worry about at 32 degrees North latitude.
