New Wheels, New Tires, Car Still Shakes (F**king Pissed)
#41
Thank you sir, but yes the rear of my car did take a hit but everything that was damaged was replaced (axles, panhard, wheels). My car actually ran smoother with a bent axle than it does now.
Fortunately I have the next couple days off so I can take it places. It's been very hectic this week I just finalized a house yesterday and I'm about to have to work 10 days in a row so I'm gonna use this time while I got it.

How many weights did they have to use to balance the wheels? I had a similar issue.... took it to a Dobbs and the dude packed a ton of weights (double stacked) on 2 of the wheels. He said they were hard to balance and asked where I got them. The were brand spanking new OEM wheels, lol.
Then took it to someone else.. someone that knows what they are doing... and it took him about 20 min and less than half of the weights. He just spun the tire on the wheel until the balance was right. He said a lot of these tire places dont do that and will just keep slapping on weights and call it a day. He had a RFB.. and expected to have to use it.. but the simple fix worked.

Got a road force balance, jesus what a difference that made. Also had some hub rings installed; I still have a little shakiness at speed but it's nothing to worry about, I think once I change out the LCAs the car will run amazingly. Thanks for all the help guys, turns out a good balance makes the difference. Let's hope it holds up.

Update:
So about 2 and a half weeks later the shake comes back in full force. I took it back to Discount and had them balance the wheels again, and the problem was resolved. It seems my car is losing balance rather quickly. What would cause this? Tire spinning around the wheel?

The toe is good, I got an alignment a month ago. As far as the tire spinning, I'll mark it and see what happens. The weights aren't falling off though, also Discount was nice enough to completely remount all the tires. Like I said after the balance it completely eliminates the problem.
