Wheel wobble

Hi all,

When I picked up my prado (2016 GX) it had a wheel wobble at freeway speeds, mainly on nice new flat bitumen. I didn't worry too much since I was going to change out the suspension and tires, so it was getting a balance and alignment which I presumed would fix it up.

Now I have the upgrades done and it had a balance and alignment, but I still have the wobble when at speed (100+). It seems weird to me that its only noticeable on fairly smooth roads. Anyone else noticed the same thing?

Thanks in advance

I would try rotating the tyres, unusual but could be a tyre.

I have the same problem with my 2015 prado. Mentioned it at the 1000km service and was told car is new and should settle. Due for a service soon so will mention it again and see if it is fixable. Had a look at the spare the other day and could not beleive the amount of balance weights on it.
