Wheel balance,flat spot on tire, if where is too much weight in one spot, you will get a wheel bounce at 60mph.

Steering wheel off center--rear wheel alignment, front wheel alignment, bad tire - very common, if you switch your tires to opposite side of truck, and pull steering wheel is the other direction. then tires

1-so you think for the vibration its maybe juste tire rims problem ?? cause I dont feel it in the stering normaly when your rims or tire are unbalenced you feel it its your steering wheel but not this time !! I thinks more about wheel bearing or something like that and sometime I feel it in the gas or brake pedal <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... #>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='???' />



2-for the steering problem I gone to do aligment this week



3- its not 60mph but 40mph at lower speed nothing happen and at hight speed nothing happen its between 30 and 45 mph and when I stop on redlight and it the brake hard the truck stop but do 3 little move foward and backward like if someone pushing the truck and pulling the truck 3 time any idea or experience ?

This feeling is normal. It is how the everything is setup on the hummer. The brakes are mounted to the differentials, unlike a normal car where they are behind the rims, this causes windup and release of tension on the cv shafts between the brakes and tires. When braking at the few seconds release the brakes a little to stop the rocking. You will get a hang of it in no time.
