After one shop explained the front tires were from 1999 and probably shot, I sprung for new Michelin Pilots up front. The wobbling continued, though not as bad. They can balance it for about 40 miles, then it starts shaking all over again. Continuously getting worse. Literally undrivable after 150 miles or so.
I've had three different places (KCM, North Central Ford and Discount Tire) tell me the right front wheel has been bent and "fixed" back into place. They say it needs to be replaced. That's the history on what got me to present.
North Central Ford did the rim-out test to confirm the wheel is out-of-round. They actually mounted different tires on the same rim and got the same results.
Thanks for the info, guys, I really appreciate it. I'll get with PSE and get the process started for a new wheel.
