2004 3.4L Extra Cab Prerunner 265 75R 16 and ass ugly stock steel wheels
Bought this truck a month ago or so with a brand new set of tires on it. I noticed a pretty obnoxious vibration around 55-60 MPH, never experienced it at any other speed. I figured surely to god they'd of balanced those tires when they put them on.
Anyways I said to hell with it and took it to a decently reputable shop and had them rebalance the tires. The guy doing it said whoever balanced them the first time did a half assed job and that he got it set up right for me. I took off and sure enough the vibration was gone - now it's at 65-70. Feels exactly the same, just moved up in the speed.
Is this still a balance issue? Is it worth doing those 1/4" carrier bearing drop shims to see if that does anything? Any easy way to check for a warped/bent rim? Frustrating as hell now, since this is my highway cruising speed and it feels like I'm runnin' down a dirt road at that speed.
