When I’m on the freeway I get a vibration through the steering wheel if I’m going over 70.
On surface roads everything is smooth sailing. It’s probably a wheel that threw off its weight, but I can’t check that till Monday. Bearing are new. Rotors are new. What’s the checklist? |

When I had my wheels balanced, I used black racers tape to cover the weights since the backs of the wheels are black. Never lost a weight yet. Also, on my car, deep sixes with 195x65x15 Michelin tires, I have found they are sensitive to tire pressure. If one of my tires get's 2 pounds low, I can feel a slight vibration. Air tires and smooth as glass again.
BTW, I run my tires at 28F and 31R. I have no idea if that is good or bad, but my cars rides great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
