Hi,
I have wanted an 80 for a few years and finally got a 1993 80 triple locked a few months ago for $2500 knowing it was going to be a long and pricy road to a dependable rig. When I got it she was beaten and neglected and leaking everywhere but drove good enough to drive two hours home with no hood and one and one-half headlight ( PO hit a mailbox). Drove it into the garage and did a full drive train rebuild regear to 4:88 with Zuk approved patterns, a iron man 2in lift, ripped out all the interior repaired cleaned and customized a bunch of interior stuff. Fixed a lot I need to do a build thread for sure I have learned a lot from this forum!
The problem: On acceleration up to 50mph I get a wobble that speeds up with tire RPM. It feels like a bent rim or really out of balance tire coming from the drivers front. This was happening before and after axle rebuild and lift. Decel and coast buttery smooth and straight up to 90MPH Tires show no signs of misalignment but need to get that checked. When the wheel is turned like accelerating out of a corner doesn't happen.
What I have tried:

What I have tried:
- A different set of tires and rims + old set rotate
- Inspected all bushings and tie rod ends multiple times
- took the axle down to the birfs again to inspect and nothing looked bad.
- All new Powerstop rotors pads and rebuilt calipers.
- expletives
- locked the center diff last night and removed the rear driveshaft was a little less but still there.
