Wheel Wobble
I hate to bring such seemingly easy things to you but I have a problem that i can't figure out, it seems. When traveling at higher speeds (>65) usually, when I am making a sweeping left.... i get a consistent shaking in the wheel. It will stop when i straighten. It can also be triggered, say above >55 MPH, again, sweeping left, but it needs to be triggered by a good pothole or something....
I have brand new tires on here. I have had them examined by a second mechanic, aligned twice from two separate shops, and i've moved the front wheels to the rear to see if I possibly had a bent rim. Neither shop could find any other glaring suspension issues.
I've watched endless youtube vids... and i just don't know where else to look. Wheel bearing came up today, but from what i saw, this doesn't sound like a wheel bearing.
Penny for your thoughts...
Thanks, as always.

Thanks ! Brakes are brand new and it’s not brake activated. However - this roll pin suggestion would be timely...
i was starting to think arms too.
SO Just grease up this pin ?

I was really excited about these caliper pins. It was something I hadn’t thought of. Unfortunately I took all four fronts out last night and they’re Greasey and seemingly functioning right. The boots are fully intact.
So so when I get this rattle I must be going highway speeds. It only happens if I tip the wheel a bit to the left and it won’t stop shaking (my steering wheel) until I correct and go straight OR ... pressing the brakes will stop the wobble.
Another item.. my brakes have felt a bit spongy. Nothing crazy. Fluid is full.
Is there any possibility it could be connected to air in system ?? But if so, why is it only occurring when I tip the wheel left ?
Thank you. Frustrated rover owner.

No. I didn’t not. When I researched wheel bearings, it seemed like the common symptom was a constant noise or humming. But - happy to be wrong. I don’t know how to test it but I’ll see what I can find on the YouTube.
