Bed death wobble?

So I went mudding about a week ago. And it seems to always do a crazy wobble noise just
My bed. I have no idea what to look at or do because I'm a new owner of Toyotas. Change the drums? 93 pickup v6

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble

last time i'm going to tell ya promise. SLOW DOWN.

The bed is hard mounted to the frame, where the cab has some rubber dampeners. You need to figure out if the bed is loose on the frame, your broke something, or somethings just wearing out. "Proper" wobbles are in the steering always. Your alignment might just be shot.

So yeah clean er up and crawl around looking for anything that you can wiggle/move by hand and any shiney metal bits indicating something has shifted. Jack up the front end and see if there is any play in the steering. And all that stuff mentioned already..

From another thread...

Same issue never resolved.

1. INSPECT REAR AXLE SHAFT AND FLANGE FOR WEAR, DAMAGE OR RUNOUT
Maximum shaft runout: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Maximum flange runout: 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)
If the rear axle shaft or flange is damaged or worn, or if runout is greater than maximum, replace the rear axle shaft
...
3. MEASURE BRAKE DRUM INSIDE DIAMETER
Standard inside diameter: 295.0 mm (11.61 in.)
Maximum inside diameter: 297.0 mm (11.69 in.)
If the drum is scored or worn, the brake drum may be lathed to the maximum inside diameter.
...
4. INSPECT REAR BRAKE LINING AND DRUM FOR PROPER CONTACT
If the contact between the brake lining and drum is improper, repair the lining with a brake shoe grinder, or replace the brake shoe assembly.

Ya Gotta love it go coat your driveline in mud bake it on.

Now the truck shakes .

What could cause this problem??

It must be the nut behind the steering wheel

I have seen the bed mount bushings fall apart after quite a few years should be pretty easy to feel by grabing a corner of the bed and shaking

Mud unbalancing your wheels.... It gets caked inside between the drum and wheel. Scared the crap out of me when I was about 17 mudding my day's s10 (which i was not supposed to be doing). Thought for sure I'd broken something. Good luck!

pull the drum off and inspect the brakes. how much mud is in there?? all the springs etc tight? bearings on the axle shaft tight?? basically your going to need to spend about 10 hours thoroughly cleaning the truck to rid it of all the mud that is hiding and making everything unbalanced. along the way check all the parts mentioned above. This is why I dont go mudding anymore. 2 hours of fun equals 30 hours of cleaning and worry to figure what I possibly broke

Tires, driveshafts etc are balanced with ounces of weight. If you have mud all over your tires/rims/brakes/drums/driveling things are going to get out of balance. Wash it.
