Steering Wheel Shake - update
Hey Guys:
Yesterday I took all five of my wheels (Trigos) and tires (BFGs, mounted) to my local Chevy dealer (he had the machine I needed) and had the wheels turned on a Hunter 9700 machine. This machine checks the rims for out of round, checks the tires for force variation and checks the tire/wheel comb for balance. All five of the assemblies were in balance*. All five wheels were found to be round. Two of the tires had major force variation. One front and one rear were off by 30 pounds. The technician thought it was excessive. I made the bad guy in the front my new spare. The rear guy I will replace.
The wife and I went for a ride during the afternoon and the shake was noticably reduced. When I get the potato replaced on the rear I will report the results.
If you have a shake, have your wheel/tire assemblies checked on one of these machines. The hunter site ( www.gsp9700.com) will give you the location.
