Will check the yoke tomorrow, my buddy is letting me use his lift for the rear bags in exchange for a case of pbr.

While up ill check the ball joints for verticle play and horizontal play in the yoke. The wobbling can be felt in your butt and not the steering wheel. Starts at 35ish, tops of in intensity by 45 but is present after that.

As for tightening, this was actually my first time tightening a 6 lug. I assume I tightened then correctly. I tightened the nuts one at a time jumping to the opposite side of the rim after each nut was torqued.

Is there something I'm missing? No shake in the wheel would eliminate the ball joints right?
