Maybe its time to Re-balance your tires?!?!

wheel balance.

nayilsi · 01-19-2008, 10:39 PM

just balance ? or rotate and balance ?

***fiji06si13*** · 01-19-2008, 10:41 PM

wheels are out of balance or you have a bent rim....

how bad is the vibration? no matter how perfect the rim and wheel balance, the steering wheel will vibrate to a certain extent (i.e. not much) because of the imperfection of the roads.

You might need to get either the fronts or rears balanced. Maybe all 4. A bent rim will aslo cause vibrations.

I rotate my tires every 7000 - 7500 miles. Rotating your tires shouldnt be necessary to get rid of the vibrations.

I rotate every 5,000 miles... now have 24K my tires still have 50% life and I keep the air pressure where it needs to be all the time...the key to long lasting tires..

i was in the middle of a 1500 mile journey

1st 500 miles was fine..... the next 1k.... vibration

PS: i was driving in the Pennsylvania to Tennessee snow sleet and mad pot holes.

Journey was from PA to TX.... VERY eventful...it needs a write up too

oh the rims are fine

could be bent or even possable ice built up on insed of rim causing it to go out of balance...you might have bent a rim on a pot hole...get it checked out...

take it back to them and tell them your problem

1. Vehicle shimmy's at highway speeds 70+
2. Vehicle pulls left after last rotation

i get ice in the rim sometimes and it causes a CRAZY vibration and stays there...
