what axles are you running ?? and i doubt you balanced the tires too well with beadlocks and golfballs in there.

i would say rotate your tires.

torque every nut and bolt on the front end especialy steering.

How's your steering stabilizer? I had the same thing... and a new stabilizer cleared it up.

steering stablizer won't fix whatever is wrong. They just hide the problem.

I would say out of balance but if they are out i'm gonna guess your rears are as well so rotating will do little.

i doubt with beadlocks they were ever balanced.

and worst case scenario its his trunion bearing assuming hes useing a toyota axle.

if it's a solid axle the knuckle joints might be loose or I've seen the no balance tires destroy the outer bearings on the hub too! old bearings and unbalanced tires=no more bearings

they put weight below the axle and helps to get a lower center of gravity. some ppl prefer water in the tires and other prefer metal pellets.
