Rampage MT Tire Wobble issue....Help

I have a new Rampage MT v3. Fully broke it in and when driving straight on the road it has a front right tire wobble at mid to high throttle. I pulled the wheel and looked for any loose parts or hub issues and nothing. Only thing I can think of is the factory steering servo saver. is there any way to tighten that up a little or get some looseness out of the steering links?

Man I can't believe nobody has replied. I will try to explain how I tackled the same issue. What it is the wheels/tires are out of balance. I removed one of the rear CVA axles and installed the end of a broken CVA into the bearings reattached the hub adapter to the broken CVA end and bolted the wheel back on. This left the tire just freewheel in the bearings. I spun the wheel and the heavy spot eventually came to the bottom. I marked the tire 180 degrees from the heavy spot then I cleaned the wheel with brake clean and installed stick on automotive weights to the inside of the wheel opposite of the heavy spot. I will tell you what if yours are anything like mine you will be amazed how much weight is needed to balance out. The least was a 1/2 ounce- the most was 1 3/4 ounces needed.

Mine wobbled. It was a lose screw at the bottom of the steering knuckle. It's hidden under the end of outer swing arm. As I said the steering knuckle pivots on it. They came lose and one fell out on mine.. put some lock tight on them.
