Serious Wobble - front tire (1 Viewer)

[SSBoo89]

I have a serious wobble on my front, driver side tire. Happens when I hit uneven pavement above 20mph. Will stop as soon as I apply the brakes. Any ideas?
I've got a cruiser buddy coming in town this weekend so I figured this would be a good project.

Toss a jack under it and see if you have loose parts or out of round tire, my guess is parts, maybe the bearings need a repack?

I had a similar issue, my trunion bearings were shot because the steering arm had worked loose from the knuckle. There's a lot of other possibilities too so your best bet is to get that corner up and start with external parts and work your way into the knuckle until you find the failure. Could also be a bad tire or bent wheel. If you can get those off and to a tire shop, they can throw it on a spin balancer and tell you in about 10 seconds if that is the problem.
