I took it to all the spots I know gets the wobbles and nothing, a couple of little wobbles here and there but they stopped quickly and was only minor.
How can that be?
Same tyres but just on different sides, ok, original sides crazy wobbles, brand new tyres same wobbles.
All been balanced, etc.

Its a GQ thing.... both of mine don't have the death wobble, but only 2 the fact they are parked up in the driveway and don't get driven

Yeah but they are the same tyres just on opposite sides now and two brand new tyres unused had the same wobbles, it doesn’t make sense.

Swap the new tyres, try them on both sides, would be interested to see if there's any wobble. Could there be any issues with the rims, just thinking out loud..
Probably not..

I thought that too but the two new tyres were on two new rims as well.
I’m going to drive it like this for a month to see what happens.
It just doesn’t make sense and the last thing I want is for it to come back half way on the Simpson trip.

I recently had the dreaded wobbles. I even had the tyres balanced and rotated at two different shops. The only way I found the culprit was to raise the Ol Trol on wooden blocks under the chassis. I then put the hubs in and started the engine and put it in 2nd gear. I used a length of wood to measure how out of round each tyre was. I found one so bad I swapped it out with the spare. On the test drive the wobbles were finally gone, but seemed to be ready to start again.. Even now with new tyres and rims, it feels as if the wobbles might start up again, especially on a long right hand curve.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

The old girl is getting a makeover over the next few months.
Just installed some new tables for the barn doors.
There’s a channel under the tables where I’ll make a slide out extending chopping board over Xmas time which will be a win.

Looks pretty cool. Can you take one of the latching mechanism at the top?
