I am putting this out here for a friend, since his computer went down and can't get online for now. He just finished replacing wheel bearings all around and took it out for a drive and the front end is shaking very bad. The razor is the highlifter edition, so it has all the lift, with 29" tires. I asked if it might be the front rotors, but he was not sure. He stated it only shakes when he starts off and then settles out after he get up to around 15mph. We are trying to troubleshoot now, but wanted to get some thoughts from some of the experts on here. Thanks.

Are the tires loaded down with tire sealant,could be one cause?Plus did he torque the hubs down properly?

 

How many miles do these tires have on them? If he's already had to replace wheel bearings, it must have quite a few miles on it. I'm sure those tires don't ride well brand new and with some miles on them, they might have uneven wear and just don't ride like they did when new. Tires with huge lugs generally dont ride well at slow speeds anyway.

 

I know from what he has told me so far, it just started about a week ago. Hubs were torqued to proper specs (according to him) and no sealant in the tires. I know when I rode in it, it doesn't seem like it is the tires. It is more of a vibration like the front end of a truck being out of alignment. Is there anything in the front diff that may make it to vibrate? I know this is pretty vague, but we are just trying to get some ideas of what it could be, so we can troubleshoot these areas. Thanks.

Just jack the front end off the ground. You can tell more about any wear on tie rod ends,drive shafts,a-arm bushings,brakes,steering,etc with no load on it.
