You may want to pull the wheel that was shaking and check your lugs...... I would be afraid that the threads are messed up from the wheel moving back and forth on them.......I also can't believe they didn't test drive the car after the install..This just shows that all the "bad things" we say about dealerships are very true.. With the mechanics they have, I don't see how GM dealers stay in business.. .WW

Do you really think they're going to spend money to develop anything newer or better for the C6... They will just keep putting in the same old crap.. Do you see any new improved harmonic balancers at the dealerships.....WW

Well, they did improve the clutch master cylinder. Not expecting any new improved HB.

However, flawed parts manufactured by a third party should not cost GM any money. GM will just slap their packaging on and call it the day.
