4/16 Anyone know of a good tire balancing place around south bay/SF area?
For some reason my car is pretty sensitive to it and my steering wheel
shakes slightly at 80+ speed. I am fairly certain it's the balace, but
the place I went to does not seem to want to put the effort to iron
out the last bit of imbalance. They just claim the computer says its
balanced. the car is fine at 60mph. thanks.
\_ Is it worse when you hit the brakes? if so, then your brake rotors
might be warped. Also, it's more likely to be your alignment
than your tires being balanced.
\_ alignment can cause shake too? I just recently got an alignment
done at the dealer.
\_ Does the shaking stop at any point beyond 80? I've heard of
something like that happening with some cars, and it wasn't
tire balance, it was something to do with an unbalanced
driveshaft.
\_ no, the faster i go, the more shake i got. smooth roads does help
a bit.
\_ It could also just be that the tires are worn unevenly. Anyway,
I like the service of America's Tire Co. You can find the locations
at http://discounttire.com. They do free rotation and flat repairs as well. |
