The tyre warning light showed, i checked and they were only down a few psi . So i replaced both of them, and problem fixed. Btw tread was only down around 15%.

[@Nick41622]

If you jack all 4 wheels in the air & run it in top gear, this is the best way to find where the vibration is coming from. Also, the vibration will be worst off the ground.

[@charliecliche6155]

If I recall, months ago Scotty replaced the tires on his Matrix. As far as I'm concerned, they were as bald as the tires on a lot of the cars I viewed being driven in New Zealand. At least New Zealanders have an excuse for driving on bald tires; exorbitantly outrageous new tire prices.

[@bryanmatson4042]

1250 US I just paid four tires .

[@Pkari]

Had a lumpy (not visible) rear tire on a 2006 Mazda 2, the whole car would dance left to right on acceleration :-D Seriously, you can junk it thinking the suspension and axle are shot - even the mechanic was fooled. Turns out the simplest thing is the solution - good tyres. Replaced all four and did an oil service, drives like new.

Also, these tires and wheels need to be balanced they could be way out of balance. So get some decent tires and have them balanced. Don't try guessing until that is done and put some descent shocks on. Front and rear.

[@daveheiskala7007]

You are very wise Mr Owl.

[@mred7375]

If it was me, I would put new shocks on for my grandson.

[@jimmerkerlin5005]

Bad tires. New tires and an an alignment is what it needs. Then... you can look at the shocks. The outside rear tire wear is probably from the tire rotation because they used to be on the front. Even with the heavy towing loads, the tire wear would typically be even on the rear duallies if that were the real problem.

[@Lastcallrepent]

Yep new Michelin tires would make that baby ride smoother !!! ❤

When I worked for Porsche I had a customer come in complaining his 911 vibrated at 160mph.

Hey, Scotty! Would adding 2 extra shocks across the axle from the stock shocks make it ride better? Because welding up some new brackets isn't a big deal.

Check the Steering Damper. Nothing is as concerning as getting the Death Wobble.

The specific trailer he was hauling may also be part of the problem, possibly too much weight on the trailer ball and no sway bar.

For a person who tows big things, it appears that checking the tow vehicle was not a priority. When you tow and don't check your equipment every single time you tow, YOU are a hazard to the public. This truck looks to need a complete once over tip to tail...

Scotty, this is flesh & blood. Bald tires can wreck lives. I’d never allow my son or grandson to ride on tires that are worn down whether a truck or sedan. When I bought my first car, my father took one look at the tires & immediately had them replaced as a Christmas gift.

That shock design is the same that GM and I believe forced too has used for what at least 60 years!😂😂 Nothing new or "crazy" design.

[@mikemike9604]

he needs a celica

[@alexanderx33]

So the leaf springs take the load, and the shock absorbers are damping the elastic responce? Yeah would make total sense that if the dampers are worn out your more suseptible to resonance. 30mph with those size tires must correspond to the period of the vehicle frame. And yes, a heavier load would indeed make this worse because the damping force the shocks provide is proportional to strain rate, not to the forces its resisting, and there is more mass vibrating when the front end of the trailer is bearing on the rear tires.

[@Garth2011]

On dual rear wheels, most tire shops are suggesting those 4 tires match in brand and size for one, they also suggest that they get rotated as they wear, sometimes inner and outer can be moved or other times they need to dismount two of the rears and move them to the fronts. It's expensive and if you don't keep up with this, you end up with whats in this video. New shocks x4, new rear tires x4 and they may as well be Yokohama to match the front brand. Essentially, as the load increases, the less spring there is which translates into zero suspension at certain driving conditions such as level and flat.

[@pdinardo9472]

Tell your Grandson, to put some tires and shocks . Spend some money!

[@sonidoexperiencia]

Come on Scotty, the real mistake here is your grandson owning a Chevy instead of a 94 Celica 🤣🤣

I'll bet the bad shocks contributed to the worn tires. Bouncing will wear them out of round and now they vibrate. Needs shocks and at least 4 tires. That truck is a public menace on anything other than a bone dry road at 30mph or less. He could easily kill someone or a family.
