Sportsman 500 wobble/shimmy
 
2010 sportsman 500 HO
Replaced tie rods both sides and new ball joints. Also has brand new front tires (Carlisle at-489). Still has a bad wobble noticeable at about 35-40 mph. Gets worse the faster I go. Any ideas?

Have your new tires balanced.

Check for bent wheels, alignment might be way off, bad tire even though it is new. Set up on jack stands so tires can turn free and check to see if tires turn straight or wobble. My guesses...

check wheel bearings as well but assuming you would have noticed a bad bearing when you did the other work. as mentioned put on stands carefully and let the tires turn to watch. bad wobe will knocked it off the stands so be careful

Shake the steering wheel. If any play you may need to replace the steering bushing under light bezel.
