Discount Tire can road force balance. They did mine.

 

Americas tire and discount tire are the same. There are none closer to me than the one I went to and they don't have one.

 

Update:

Still have steering wheel vibration at fwy speeds along with a right hand pull. Isolated issues? Got my front tires replaced for free didn't help the freeway steering wheel vibrations much.

-bent rim?
- tie rods... Other susp. Components
- alignment?

The sequence if issues and repairs is as follows

Alightment after cv boot replacement

Installed new poly lca bushings

Later steering wobble occurred a fwy speeds

Changed front tires, still wobble. Steering pulls to the right.

 

I would expect that you have unequal camber settings. You have more negative camber on left wheel than the right, so the car is always trying to turn right.

I would look for play in bearings, tie rod ends etc. if you have wobble. Jack it up one wheel at a time and try to feel play wheels. Top to bottom AND side to side would be the bearing. Side to side only would be tie rod end or steering rack.

Thanks! There was a trusted german auto shop listed. The wheels were balanced already and the front tires were replaced. So either it's suspension linkage, brakes, or a tweak rimmed maybe... All I know is its speed dependent... 70+

 

Hey 56Blue,

lifted the front end and had no issues with 12 and 6 but side to side, the only play i got was just minimal motion connected to the steering rack, but didn't seem loose, but just some give in which the steering wheel would move and then lock at the slightest tug of the wheel , which i'm guessing is normal.

[quote=RHcoopers;3836842]So were they balanced or road force balanced? Their is a BIG difference. Again I suggest it because I had the same issue at about 70+. I bought new tires all the way around because it was an issue. It did the same thing with the new tires (BFG KDW's not cheap rubber) after i got it road force balanced ALL the vibration went away. It will find stuff the regular balancer can't. They will check the tire, dismount them, match them with the best wheel for that tire and remount them even orienting the tire on the rim for best balance and fit. They even put a light glue on the tire to keep it from slipping from the proper spot on the wheel.

If you already did then sorry and I'll quit beating this horse

 

New discovery... The large band clip that holds the cv boot to the passenger drive axle is missing and there is compact grease everywhere. I has a shop replace the boots a few months ago... I wax able to pull the entire boot back to see absolutely no grease inside the three way bearing or pivot thinga-majigger. Can't say how long it's new like this... But at least a month or so. Could this cause speed wobble? Even if if doesn't... I'm worried the axle bearings may be jacked up. :(
