Sleeper look

so i've been having a bad vibration in the steering wheel, we've road forced balanced the tires/wheels 3 times and can't get rid of the vibration. so it looks like i might have a bad tire or two. after contacting falken they said they swap out the tires for me at no charge....let's hope that solves the issue

The balance job on my repu rims is horrible. I just haven't had time to go back to Town Fair to have them take a look. Rims aren't hubcentric so I thought that might be the issue, but now I'm thinking I threw a weight or the weight moved or something.

 

[Reitrof]

Mark, have you tried rotating the tires to see if the vibration moves?

 

[bazooka joe]

yes we did...no improvement at all

Mahk, I tried to send a PM but work computer and the site aren't cooperating well. What size tires did you have on your 16's? I found a helluva deal on tires that I can't pass up and they'll be going on my 16's that I have laying around.

I know the vibration was there before the curbage but any luck with the vibration after swapping that wheel?

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Seen this car in person..... All I can say is it's a jaw dropper for sure.

Well I blew a tire a few days later on a different wheel, replaced the tire and no more vibration! The wheel isn't repaired yet

You must have been thinking of someone else's ride! You're too kind!

 

[bazooka joe]

[bazooka joe]
