I have a vibe/balancing related question.

First vibe visit, the dealer replaced 2 tires and balanced all four. Didnt solve the vibe.

Second vibe visit ( less than 500 miles later ), dealer is claiming to have balanced the hubs....

I have never heard of balancing the hubs. Anyone else. What is that or does this sound like a load of crap?

 

At what speed is the vibe? If its across the board they may need to balance your driveshaft. If its just at high speeds 70-80 you need to get a road force balance. If they do not have a machine to do this tell them to send it somewhere that does.

 

They said it was a force balance both times. When I confronted them with not needing to re-force balance them withing 2 weeks and 500 miles, they said the force balanced the hubs.

Im not a mechanic, but it didnt make much sense. Im suppose to test drive it with them tomorrow to see if indeed the vibe is fixed.

The vibration is most evident around 58 to 63. I can feel it from about 55 to about 65
