[DMCForum] Re: wheels shake update...again

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Erik,

The residual shake sounds like a tire imbalance. Even if you had them 
done recently, have them checked again. You may have tossed a wheel 
weight during the initial heavy shake-down.

Please pass detailed info on what you adjusted. I have some similar 
handling symptoms and I'd like to check what you checked. I don't 
have the shake but I have some squirrly sway. I also believe I have a 
warped rotor.

bar wasn't torqued down enough.  And also the passenger 
tierod/spindle connection wasn't torqued all the way.  I also 
reseated and adjusted the upper and lower steering column joints.  
HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!  It drives like a different car.  My squirely 
rear end is gone, my teeth chattering rattle is gone as well.  There 
is still a bit of a vibration at 60MPH, but after I get passed 65mph 
it goes away.  If anyone has any ideas as to what the vibration might 
be, please let me know.  I'm betting I need to take it to a place 
that can balance my wheels properly.  Doesn't it need to be done on 
the car?  Last time i know it was done OFF the car.
