Many technicians and tire sales people have laid the blame on shocks, struts, alignment and worn parts, and improper inflation, until it showed up on a few cars that we (the technicians)knew the above issues were NOT the problem. It turned out to be the TIRES. The ones we had a problem with were General brand. However, I have seen this occur on many vehicles in the past 3 decades, and many brands of tires were afflicted. Many times the vehicles had worn parts on the front suspension, but this has also been presented to us on the rear tires, most often with front wheel drive vehicles. In those cases the alignment or tire loading and inflation was erroneous.
