Unhappy Possable problem w/ '05 Steering

Okay guys, this may be worth reading. After only 1800 miles my my new '05 4x DC, I have experienced a slight vibration in the steering wheel. I starts at about 45mph all the way thru 75-80(have not gone any faster than that). First I thought it was the balance, and had the wheels re-balanced. Then I thought it might be the Rev-tek lift kit I had profesionally installed so I checked w/ Rev-tek to see if they had any other reports like mine. They had not. Then I checked w/ the installer (whom I have been dealing w/ for years and trust completely), and they said it might be a wheel out of round, that the kit, and the installation should not have caused anything like this. So off to the wheeel guy again. They re-checked the balance and checked for "out-of-roundness". Nothing wrong there. But he did noticed a significant amount of lateral slop in both front wheels. So after calling my dealership, we have decided that none of the work I have done has voided the warranty, so off to the service dept it goes. &am tomorrow. Will keep you all posted.
