I was experiencing some wheel hop/shimmy on the front end at slow speeds, about 30-40 mph, it seems to be the front left. I thought/swore it felt like a bad tire. As the tires were old I replced the tires and rims. I have the same but it seems actually worse. This mourning I moved the front tire to the rear just to see if maybe another bad tire no effect. It seems that some times its ok, and then sometimes it is real bad. It seems that a bump can start it shaking.

One of the new rims tested bad, the dealer put it on the left rear and I am waiting for a new rim.

Any ideas?

The truck is 95 3/4 ton 4X4 6.5TD with 193,567 miles.
