    I have had the same issue ever since my VX faught a wall, and the wall won. All new front end, including a new steering box. Tried the box adjustment and it did little to help. I may actually have some permanent damage somewhere since I tried everything and nothing seems to work. I have just since gotten used to the loose steering. Gets a little scary at highway speeds and calls for 100% of my driving attention.

    I am running 285x60 rubbers on 18x8.5 wheels and was cpnsidering downsizing to perhaps a 16 or 17 with slightly smaller rubbers since this appeared to work on my Rodeo, as it had a similar issue. Tried everything else already and winter is coming up, so I will be driving it more.

    I recently changed to a wider tyre and found a wobble around 45-50 espically when accelerating and braking has become a bit of a worry.
    Never pack a gob****e there's always one waiting for you when you get there.

    Found out I need a new front shock, that's causing the wobble. not the tyres.
