#8725, "RE: steering wheel/car vibrations" In response to In response to 3
Same thing happened to me when I got my enkei shoguns on and balanced -shook like crazy, and I know for a fact my alignment was fine. I took it back to the tire shop after a couple days, and had it balanced again. the ride was perfect after that.
they said that they were going to do a different "special balance for aftermarket/racing rims." I was thinking to myself whatever, I don't really think there is such a thing. A balance is a balance. I think what happens is someone who doesn't run the machine correctly is doing something wrong. get 'em to do it again.
If you are not on the brakes then the rotors will not make the steering wheel shake like that, even if they are slightly warped. They don't have enough rotational inertia to shake the wheel at freeway speeds. But to test it, see if the shaking gets worse when you press on the brakes.
