    Question Need ideas on cause of front end shudder

    The vehicle is an '07 SRT Magnum with 6200 miles and F1 staggards. The problem is what I have been reading about on the forums for months. Namely, front end shudder/shake/shimmy at 80 to 85 MPH. Perfectly smooth at any other speed. It started to show about 2-3000 miles and has been force balanced 2 times by two different shops, (the first being the dealer but that's another story),with no real improvement. As an aside, there was a complete cure to the shake when the 255's were accidentally switched to the front (the other story). This morning I noticed a worsening (major wheel shake). The tires only had about 5 miles on them since starting out so I presume they were cold? After about 15 miles, it greatly improved but was still there. First time I really noticed this difference, but the first time I ever took it this fast that soon after starting. Pressures have been checked and maintained, lugs torqued sequentially, (thanks FC), and there is no visible abnormal wear. At a loss, anyone have any ideas besides new tires? Thanks.

    Balance them again.I have had the best luck using regular clamp on weights on the inside lip and stick on weights behind the spokes.
