I have a 2003 FX4 Level II. I just got new BFG AT TA/ko's, and installed new lower ball joints, uppers were ok. I now have a severe wobble in the wheel. I've had the tires balanced 2 time and aligned 2 times.

Any ideas?

I'm also feeling vibration in the brake pedal along with a squeak when I slightly depress the pedal.

Sounds like a wheel hub is worn out and possibly wore the brakes . Check those.

Try to bleed your steering system. That was my problem. With the truck running and the front end off the ground I turned the wheel almost lock to lock about twenty times. Most of the shake went away after that. Then after driving it for a few days it's all gone.

Hope this helps. Maybe it does maybe not. It really through me for a loop when I discovered to be my problem.
