Wheel Force balancing ?

[moddog]

Yesterday I was at my dealer and had the mechanic drive my car. I have not been happy with my rack & pinion after it got replaced so I am getting a new one. I just had my wheels rotated and balanced while he was driving he said you have a low speed wobble. You need to get your tires Forced Balanced have any of you heard of Force Balancing Tires. If so how do they do that I have the Good Year Comfort tread tires.

Best way I have heard of for balancing tires is to have them balanced on the car.
A machine spins the tire while it is on the car, but then you can't rotate tires.
It is taking all things into play, brake rotor, lugs, etc. Most places do not have the equipment to balance a tire on the car.

Maybe try a high speed balancing machine??

Good luck,

Bob

at 402 we have a road force balancing machine. instead of just spinning the tire free of force, it is put under a heavy load by a large drum to act as the road while balancing.

most modern tire stores can do "road forced" balancing.

I'd check around. The bigger the tire the more important this is.

Hunter makes the BEST road force blancing machine around...

You can find a shop with the GSP9700 in your area, here: HUNTER GSP9700

I had issues with my crappy stock RSA's and the Road Force Balancing fixed it.

As soon as I slipped into some Toyo Proxes4, I had no vibration at all (with standard balancing, too!).

Hope this helps.
