Wheels Balanced Wrong From Factory

[WOLFIEZ66]

Hey all, just filling you in on my problem...

I went back to the dealer for my first oil change and asked them to check the balance on my wheels due to a vibration at speeds over 55-60 MPH. ?When I came back to pick up my beast I noticed that there were new weights placed opposite of where they were from the factory ( could tell from the dirt outline left from the old weights ) and they appeared to be the same size.

Hmmmm.... ?Was the factory balance guy dislexic

The beast rides extremely smooth now, ?it's like a new truck!! ?I didn't even know what i was missing.

It's a good thing to mention to the dealer if you have a vibration at higher speeds.. ?I'm sure I'm not the only one. ?My AV has a build date of 01/03.

Same with me. I went in to pick up my license plates and asked about the vibration. Our roads are rough concrete down here and I thought vibration might just be that. Turns out the wheels were out of balance.

your tires will continue to change balance as you drive and they wear.......this is why it is good to have the balance checked more often then when you sense a vibration....


I have mine checked about every 12K....or every other rotation
