2006 LJ drives smooth until it hits 55 mph, at which point it starts to have a subtle wobble on the steering wheel. The wobble gets a bit more pronounced as it hits 60. Once accelerated beyond 60, it disappears and gets smooth again. Same thing with deceleration--noticeable at 60(but never too bad), gradually diminishing and gone once dropped past 55 mph. It's so predictable and I can tell what speed it's at without looking at the dash.
Background: LJ has original set of Goodyear tires from 2006. Owner #1, an elderly gentleman, only drove it minimally in its first 12 years. For the past two years, owner #2 drove it about 10K. Wobble was there when he got the Jeep.
Recent work done: tire balance&alignment, pressure set at 29psi, new brakes, new shocks.
Questions: 1)Could it be the tires, despite the recent balance/alignment? 2)should I get a new set regardless? Current original set still has about 75% tread--never been replaced.
Advice/insights would be appreciated.
