Hi all, noticed the past few weeks that I’ve begun to have a bit of shutter in the front end when going 75 mph+.
I figured it might be due to the tires being out of balance, so I got them balanced. Nope, still does it.
Then I thought it might be the hubcentric rings I got, and read some forums debating their usefulness and precision. Nope, not that either.
Unless the tire shop did a poor job, balancing, which seems unlikely because that’s really easy, I’m at a loss.
I also noticed that my front steering feels a little bit loose and not as connected as it used to. I had winter tires on that were out of balance for the first two weeks last winter, but I got those balanced, and it seem to iron itself out. Not sure if that loosened up some bushings or the end links or what.
I’ll be getting an alignment next month, but if that doesn’t smooth things out, I’m at a loss. Should I plan on installing new bushings in the front? have others had to do this?
Thanks!
