mine did the same when i had a road force balance....ended up gettin new tires/ new balljoints/alignment/ ANOTHER road force balance and mines 80% gone. i will be doing the steering rack bushing soon and hopefully that will get rid of the other 20%

nothing...the car was fine before I got the wheels. When I went to buy the hubcentric rings I order 73.1 out and 60.1 in. The guy said it didn't fit so I think he grabbed 72.1 out and 60.1 in. Could that be the cause of the slight vibration?

I had the same thing going on! I change lower ball joints lost alot of the vibration. I also had it when I press the brakes got worse. ordered new cross drill rotors and that went away. but now at 65 to 70 the vibration come back real lite. I'm getting my tires re balanced this weekend and see what happens.

how much to get the wheels fixed if their bent?


My car is an '02 with 40K on the odm.

I'm heading down to NY the last weekend in may so it'll probably be a good idea to put the stock back on.

most time the ball joint and daizen rack bushing should take care of most of the vibrations imo....

why waste time and just put the stocks back on and youll see the results if ur other rims are bad or just unbalanaced properly- road force
