I know my tires are shot, and I mean they are beyond bad. I feel a solid, even pattern, shake at low speed. This tells something is deff bulging somewhere, if not tires.

Now Ive had it off the ground with wheels hanging and noticed there is a hair bit of slack pretty much everywhere, but the opposite tire did move with the other tire when moving back and forth. Upper ball joint boot is deff bad on driver side but found zero movement.

I will get true death wobble around 55. Still continues at higher speeds but smooths out, but still horrible.

My question is, is could it just be the tires exponentially multiplying the little bit of play that I do have?

The answer is YES. Moral of the story is, look at all angles. Tire was way worse than I thought. Apparently, each time I looked at it, the separation of the tread was facing away from me.

However, when I went for a test run (which felt a million times better), I heard a pop wen I did a U-turn.
