ummm not sure what you mean about that but I did take it to a real place and they road force balanced them.




I got it checked out and they found the following:

- Both UBL were gone
- Right LBL was gone
- Right outer tie rod end was gone
- Front rotors were warped
- Front pads were at 3mm.

Did all the suspension and it helped a lot. The tie rod end actually broke when removing it. Didnt do the brakes yet but am going to crawl underneath and do them tomorrow.

I am also now selling a 3" front puck lift and rear 1" block. I cant afford another $1500.00 front suspension repair. I am going to drop the rear 2" with some belltechs and get some harley rims.

Well finished the front rotors and pads. No more shake at all. I have noticed I am picky as anything now. Any vibration bothers me.

I was checking everything out around the tires and axels, and then noticed a round glob of tar about the size of a basket ball on the drivers side tire. The day it got really hot is when I first noticed the problem. Somewhere I picked up some road asphalt and it had pushed all the way into the treads of the tire. After I drove about a50 miles, it was motsly gone and the vibration went away. I can see that the tires play a big role in the vibration issue.
