typically a vibration at 60mph IS a tire balance issue... but although your wheels maybe balanced to the machine... they might not be in balance with your car. try Road Force balanceing, and make sure your rims arent bent.

have the shop put the worst wheel (balance and bend wise) to the RR, next to the lr, then rf, then lf... believe it or not... it DOES make a difference!

my neigbour was showing me something like that he jacked up my car torqued the wheels down and lowerd it just so the rubber was touching as he spun the one wheel it did not make contact at a certain point... he thinks its possible something could be bent but what? this kinda stuff makes me nervous like it cant be fixed...

ORIGINAL: dimebag

bubble balancers suck... if your gonna balance a tire u should dynamicly balance it. a machine is best(so long as its working correctly)...
They suck alright.....BUT I used one to put three differant DYNAMIC balancers to shame. It works like a balance scale and you can't fool gravity. Electric devices need recalibrating from time to time. The ones in my area sucked at the time I used them.
