Default You think this is problem?

Driving down the road it feels like I'm sticking my head in a car with one of those big base stereo's. I just had them balance these thing and I think they over looked something.

Tough to tell from the video . . if you think so- take it back.

Tire has out of roundness issues. With the car on jack stands in drive it shacks the doors. Here I though the torque tube needed rebuilt.

Was the car sitting for a while? Looks like it developed possible flat spots. Jay

I took my car to get the tires balanced and it was doing the same thing on the balance machine....it was a bent rim. It cost me $145 to have the rim repaired

look at the lip of the wheel then the tire line against the jack

wheel is true and there is hop in the tire

that car needs R888's anyway

they even come in a nice 305 35 18 and 275 35 18 to fit your wheels

When he is blowing by you, you will know.

Richard, that doesn't look abnormal to me for runout of the tire. I think AnT tire and wheel down on broadway has a tire lathe.....

Pretty drastic thing to do though. They could probably offer advice.

When you get the drumming in the cabin, does it do it in all gears? 2nd, 3rd and 4th? The driveshaft runs at engine rpm, if it were the TT, I would think it would only happen at one rpm.
