    It can be a problem yes. Get a good balance, it should make a world of difference, its what causes my wobbles

    Yep it won't take much to put a tyre out of balance, sometimes just mud or sand stuck on the inside of a rim will do it, or a thrown weight.

    And to be a pain sometimes the wobbles come from worn bushes in the rear..

    You can adjust the 'slop' in the steering box, if it has any.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Make sure you get them balanced by someone that does a lot of 4WD tyres. Some tyre retailers do not have a balance machine that is optimal for wide and heavy 4WD tyres. They are great for normal passenger car tyres but do not balance 4WD tyres properly.
