    wheel locks causing vibration

    I think someone mentioned it here as well....I have a vibration problem that feels like wheel balance....I saw in a magazine some company advertising "gorilla" locking lugs..it looked like they came with a locking lug and accompanying lugs to REPLACE oem...they were advertised as "eliminating balnce problems" could the locks be heavier and casing the vibration problem

    Eehh...maybe, On larger diameter wheels, not being torqued evenly and correctly will cause more of a problem

    And the dead shall walk

    I think the difference in the weight of the bolt is pretty negligligable (not important). I agree that uneven torque could do it as could out of round tires and warped brake rotors. Most likely it is just bad balance though.
    The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
