When I put them on my car it had that problem I added a few more degrees of caster and it went away.

I know it sounds crazy but toe has quite an effect on radial wobble. Try toeing the front end out 1/8 to 3/16. We fought it for half a season on my buddy's cutlass and it completely went away after moving the toe from in to out.

Toe out is potentially very dangerous.....and trust me I know.... I made a run with that condition and nearly lost it.....

I'd be very hesitant to try that....

I know one thing the first time it happens you’ll definitely be awake when it’s over.

What pressure are you trying to run in the back tires.

We have run from 12 to 19 in one-pound increments.

Before we had problems we ran 17 to 18 normally.

We had that on my son's Chevy II when he first bought it. He said it didn't feel all that bad but watching it from the starting line was terrifying 😳. We just went back to bias ply.
