Alright so for the past couple of weeks i've been experiencing a VERY slight shake/wobble in the front right end i want to say..and seems like its coming from the passenger side front tire..and then last night i took it on the highway and when i started doing some high speed stretches..it went from very slight to mildly noticeable but not unbearable and there was definitely shaking going on.
I checked my tires and i'd say their out of alignment just a tad bit but not much, what do you think could be causing this??

i would say that the tire might be unbalanced and that would cause the shake. also what state are u from? because theres a new milford in jersey thats not to far from me.

CT is full of wooded areas and trails that are awesome for jeeping especially in my general area, well, until the builders decide to tear everything down but im not sure about anywhere in the Hartford area..so you might as well just ask around up where your going to be
any other suggestions about this problem listed above??

or maybe it could be something as simple as the tire pressure... maybe its a little to hard or soft

It could be a tire ply separation, tire balance, warped brake rotor, ball joint(s), or control arm bushings. I would suspect the tire first and check the front end parts and rotors completely. An out of line car will not cause a shake, but will cause a pull.

Definitely bad tire balance, not even tire pressure, scalloped tires, badly worn tires, balljoints, or tierod ends.

I suspect the tire being unbalanced because if i drive slow and pay close attention to the shake..it feels like every time the tire rotates the same shake pattern restarts itself..how can i tell if i need to rebalance the tire?

You can only tell if you get it on a tire machine. Its cheap money, especially if you have a walmart with a tireshop nearby.

Sounds like a broken belt or ply separation.
