Fair And Balanced

Sucked it up and took The Beast back to Tire Kingdom.

Told them that, now that everything is tight, I can feel something is wrong.

I told them about the vibration and how it moved when I did a tire rotation.

That impressed the mechanic listening over the managers shoulder.

They got me right in and balanced all four wheels.

Two of them needed a 1/2 ounce change.  One needed a full ounce.

!!!!

That's a lot of change to me!

They didn't charge me, so I am not complaining.

On the drive home I got in a couple of sprints.  Both felt smooth and free of vibrations.  Aside; though this car is short 80 horses and half a ton heavier than The Precious it still gets up and goes when you stab the accelerator!

This is the shop that originally installed the tires a couple of years ago and just did the alignment.

I recommend them if you're local.  Corner of US19 and Alt 19 in Holiday, FL.

UPDATE:  

Longer test drive at interstate speeds confirms the shakes, shimmies, and vibrations are quelled.

    Perseverance and bloody mindedness overcomes all problems, even the ones that "everyone" says can't be solved. ;-)
