Front wheel bouncing?
Finally installed a new set of wheels and tires. Now I’m experiencing this tiny but very noticeable bouncing/vibration from my steering wheel at high speed on a newly built flat highway. What could be the causes? I’m here in kikrland WA state, you are welcome if any memebers wanna joint me on a ride to get this feel.
Thanks
wheels: 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear Niche Milan
Tires: Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ 255/35ZR19 front and 285/30ZR19

it is also possible that the OE shocks were calibrated to work with OE wheels and tires ... and that the new
parts has a much higher unsprung weight combo which exceeds the shocks' designed threshold. how
did your old wheels/tires feel in terms of ride comfort and handling?

I have just measured the distance btw my tires and my fenders, it turned out the driver side rear air suspension is 3/4 to 1 inch lower than other three. Could this be the problem? I also tried rising and lowering the suspension, it seamed no problem as well.

my bad. I was parked on a uneven road, the distance were the same, and I have no problem rising or lowering the air suspension. any other causes? like defective tires?
