So I'm getting severe tire cupping on the front tires.
2021 75th Power Wagon.
61K miles.
Factory bead lock rims.
MT Baja Boss 35x12.50R17. A out 30K Mike's on them now.
At first sign, I rotated tires and had alingmet rechecked. Set it to Thuren specs, which I've been running since the truck had 200 miles on it.
Still getting cupping. I added some balance beads just in case the tires were out of balance. Long story in a different thread as to why I wasn't running balance beads to start with with the tires. Not by my choice.
Still getting cupping.
Today I had the wife do the swing check while I crawled underneath to look. Only place I coukd see that had a bit of movement/play was the track bar bushing at the frame.
I get very slight vibration in the steering wheel, not nothing you really notice. Do get road noise.
So is it all caused by the track bar? Could it also be shocks?
This is my first coil sprung straight axle with a track bar.
Where do I spend my money to repair the issue?
TIA.
