<div><font face="Arial" size="2">That sucks about the tires, especially considering how low the mileage is on that car. My Z had that same issue even after I first changed wheels and tires. I too had that high priced balance done and it did help quite a bit but it was still there, forcing me to drive at 85 mph, LOL. After I changed the car to 5 lug hubs and axels which required new wheel bearings on all 4 corners and new wheels and tires the problem went away. Of course my car is 35 years old…</font></div>

After I changed the car to 5 lug hubs and axels which required new wheel bearings on all 4 corners and new wheels and tires the problem went away. Of course my car is 35 years old and I'm sure the rear bearings were original since they are not easy to install (requires dropping all the rear suspension and pressing the stub axel out and pressing the new bearings off and on). The fronts had been changed when I first got the car and repacked and reinstalled a few years later during the disc brake upgrade.</font></div>
