Hello, everyone! I am going to try to be as descriptive as possible so I can narrow down my troubles.
I have an 01 Toyota Sienna LE with almost 140,000 miles on it. I have been having irregular inner tire wall wear and my van pulls to the right, so I know I am out of alignment.
My issue is that a couple of months ago, the van started driving like it had a bad tire. The steering wheel wobbled back and forth. I put the spare on the front passenger side and the wobble was solved, until it wasn't.
It started doing the same thing again, so I grabbed a used tire. Worked very briefly, then started back up again.
The steering wheel wobbles back and forth at low speeds, gets worse from 30-55 mph, and is less noticeable at 60 mph +.
I did the standard wheel bearing test and it doesn't feel like a wheel bearing.
Everything looks decent, overall. I could have bought a bad used tire. I am looking at getting both the front tires balanced.
Aside from possible tire problems, what else could be going on here?
