    Could be rotors starting to pulse if it only happens under braking.

    I had the gray trd wheels and had no shake. I switched to the black trd wheels and now have a shake. I have had 3 sets of different brand of tires and have had them balanced 5 times with road force and still have a shake. Two brands wouldn’t balance but the falkens are all under 2. It still shakes

    Anecdotally...

    My friend had the new style TRD black wheels on his old truck (2022?). No shake.

    He then moved the same set of wheels/tires to his new 2024 truck. Shake. Tried new tires. Still shake.

    Don't think it's the black wheels. But it could be lol.

    It is annoying. I am surprised after all this time no one has found a definitive solution

    I had a steering wheel shake for a while that felt like a tire was out of balance but sort of intermittent. I went around in circles the biggest change was installing the ECGS bushing, i also cleaned all of the mating surfaces on the rims and that helped a good deal but what finally completely fixed it was an alignment at a 4x4 shop. They spent 3 hours with the truck and it drives like butter now. I couldn't believe and just never knew that a bad alignment could cause what felt like an out of balance tire. Shop said it was common to get a shake from a bad alignment. Never knew.

    My camber is off because I have a seized lca. It is barely out of spec. Does anyone know if that can contribute to the shake?

    I had a steering wheel shake, researched it, and the 95% solution was to have Discount Tire do a road force balance. I've not read all 9 pages of this thread so I hope this helps.
