Get your front tires balanced.

thats what i thought it was but i wasnt sure.

When was the last time you had them balanced? Those lead weights they put on the rim don't seem to like to hang on very well. Last time I had my tires balanced I saw they were going to use the lead weights on the rim and I walked right through the door to the dude balancing them and asked what he was doing. He said putting weights on your tires. I told him he was going to use the stick on weights like what was on there already. Didn't want him messing up my 03 Cobra's.

Just thought of something else. Make sure you have the proper air pressure in your tires too.

Balance more than likely as you can drive through the wobble, if it was an out of shape tyre, it would be there all the time. :)

thanks again guys. anyone know how much it costs to get my tires balanced?

balance & Rotation is like $20

i buy my tires from America's Discount Tire, and they offer Free Balance and Rotation as long as you own the tires.... that why i dont have Caster Camber plates because i get my stuff rotated like every 2 weeks :bunny3:
