It has been annoying, the place that aligned it is a vintage race shop and they do a bunch of 911 stuff. I would think they would be able to handle this. I’m gonna go down the specialty wheel balancing and see if I get lucky.

Mowog4, I replaced all suspension bushing, struts, brakes five years ago when my 914-6 GT Tribute made it back on the road after a 29 year nap. I did the very simple string alignment after ride hight, camber and caster and have put five thousand miles on each year. Car is smooth, never a vibration at any speed. As mentioned, bent rim, have you retorqued all the suspension nuts on every thing. Steering rack, ball joints, brake calipers, wheel bolts or nuts. Just check every thing, one to get rid of the vibration, two for your safety. Best, Mark
