It really works!!

I just wanted you guys to know that I took my car in to the stealership, and had them Road force Ballance my new rims and tires. I had a shake that couldnt be tamed. The place where I got my tires put on just didnt have a hunter road force machine. The other places that did wanted $40 a tire to balance and $90 for the alignment. Sooo, I took to Acura dealer.

I'll be damned!!! It worked like a charm!! Not even as much as a shimmy up to 90mph... I was just excited and wanted to let you guys know!!

Have a good Weekend!!

Thanks for the tip. There is a Kauffman tire place around the corner who does it for $20 per tire. Might look into it.

It Does Work...

Went down to Kauffman this morning and asked them to road force just the fronts, as I was trying to isolate the vibration. Car was in there a looonnng time. The tech balanced all four, even though I only paid for fronts. Immediately hit the highway and its like driving on glass. $40 later, vibration is gone.
I would def. recommend this before replacing expensive parts.

Why do you guys hate the dealership so much.You do understand that cars from the factory are built to perform how they were intended to perform.When you add all those upgrades you destroy what the car was intended to do.Go ahead and add a two hundred dollar part to a 30k car, thats your problem. Don't get made when your "modified" car breaks down!!!!if you want performance than buy performance, if you want comfort than buy comfort!Don't get mad when your car breaks when you add cheap parts to it!

LOL @ lamarski. Who is talking about breaking down? The post is regarding vibrations with aftermarket wheels that cost usually welll over $1000. If shit isnt balancing right its frustrating. I know because im going through it now.07TLfixitup..hub rings probably wont solve your problem. I know because ive been there. Save your money.

LMAo... settle down "dealer Lover" lol... We hate the dealerships bc everytime we go to the svc dept with a problem, the "service" writer A.) never knows WTF is going on with anything, B.) Lies, C.) Lies more, D.) Always lies about how much and how "difficult" the part is to locate and remove, E.) NEVER has the damn thing fixed in a timely manner, What number was I on? Oh and 6.) If its not under warranty they RAPE you, deny said rape then LIE to you and try to convince you that said rape wasnt even rape at all!! That you totally consented to F*&$%#G yourself out of your hard earned MONEY!!

Did I mention they dont know "what the problem is either? I feel like EVERY acura dealer should be on this site to LEARN these problems and fixes!! Hell, they could maybe even offer ways & fix's that WE dont know... OMFG!!!! I'm on a rant sorry.

Lamarski,..... idk what to even say to you now...lol...but you go ahead and whine..lol..

wont work. You need ones with inner bore being 64.1 and outer bore being 72.6.

Also no its not my middle name. It'd be awesome if it was though.
