  1. I've been following this thread for a long time, and thought I would share my experiences as well. 2017 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab - 35k miles 22" Wheels with Bridgestone Dueler AT's I purchased this vehicle with 8k miles in 2017. I didn't notice the shaking/shimmy on my test drive. With my truck, it was only noticeable on smooth, long stretches. A lot of the highways around the dealership are pretty bumpy, and driving on them doesn't let the shimmy really set in. I could feel it at 40mph, on really SMOOTH roads. It was also bad around 70-80ish. After about a week of driving it, i really started to notice the shake. I took it in 3 separate times and was told that the tech didn't notice anything unusual, and nothing wrong with it. I finally got really fed up with it and demanded a tech ride with me. I got one, and I took him to a section of roadway where I knew it would shake - he agreed something was wrong... Back to the garage. I'll skip the rest and just tell you what they all did, over a period of time. 3 of the 4 tires were in the mid 30's for roadforce - I got 4 new ones (same Bridgestone Dueler AT's) - Still shook after that. They found lateral runout on the rear axle - replaced left and right inner axle shafts - Still shook after that. They found play in steering gear bushing - replaced steering rack - Still shook after that. They replaced all shocks/struts - Still shook after that. They replaced drive shaft - Still shook after that. I drove it until my next oil change and when I brought it in, I asked if they had roadforce balanced the new tires when they mounted them, they did not. SO, I said do it on these new ones. 2 of the 4 new ones were in the low 30's again. Other two were 13 and 10. Two more new tires, rf balanced at 9 and 11 - and its ALMOST completely gone. At this point I am going to just accept it as its almost non-existent and I'm so sick of dealing with it.
