When you had the tires balanced, did they use bubble or spin? > > Have 2000 buick regal 73,000 miles have front end vibration at 36 to 45 > > mph.

I haven't seen a bubble balancer in years and years. And to think, I can remember when that's all you saw.

I can remember when spin balancing was eliminated because of lawyers. > I can remember when spin balancing was eliminated because of lawyers. I missed that.

I worked as a line mech at Ford, Lincoln/Merc, & Chevy dealers as a line mech for years during the exploding tire episodes when spin balancing. The dealers instituted no spin policies. Lasted a long time. Mike Marlow is right. I have not been a mech for a long time. Still in vehicles but in fuel supply now to trucking companies. >> > I can remember when spin balancing was eliminated because of lawyers. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Mike Marlow is right.

Paul, my dad was in the tire business, & it seems like I can b-a-r-e-l-y remember that period of no spin-balancing; but then I'm only 62 ;)(Couldn't resist that!) Seriously, I do seem to recall his talking about it, altho' I never worked there--was grown and gone by then. s Found the problem was a faulty constant velocity joint on drivers side new one from napa $90 installed myself hope this helps someone else |
