Hey everyone. I've been having a bad vibration in my C5. I had the wheels/tires road force balanced and they said they were fine. However I've replaced almost everything else it could be but with no success in defeating the vibration. So I was wondering if anyone would be willing to let me throw on their good set of wheels and drive around the block to confirm that it really isn't the wheels or tires. Just need less than 30 minutes of your time for the quick swap and test drive.

I'm currently in the Virginia Beach area at Oceana but willing to go anywhere in the whole Hampton Roads area.

It's not your car, it's the roads there. They're crap.

yeah they sure are bad. But I really do have a problem. The nice smooth roads of MD feel terrible too.

Thanks for your offer but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it out that far before I move back to MD at the end of the month.
