Ken,

Thaks for the tip on the Hunter 9700 Vibration detection system. I have a similar situation with my new asimetricos with 2000 miles and will get it checked out.

Nice that Hunter has a locator on their website so you can see who has their machine.

Ken,

YOUDAMAN.

Took the car to a shop with the Hunter 9700 and found that right front was out of round (35lbs rolling resistance) Tech had computer calc optimal tire/wheel orientationa and spun tire to location plotted by computer. Rebalanced and had 10 lbs now.

Best $21 I ever spent

Car drives like a dream again. NO vibration, tracks straighter than ever. Thanks for the tip. I owe you one. I never go to a shop without one of them now. NO WAY any other machine could have found and fixed that (even the 9500) which is a nice machine and what my former shop had. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

Glad it worked out for you. That was the reason I ditched my Pirellis because 2 of them couldn't be fixed within tolerable specs. I guess you can repay me by giving me your 3.4 engine for my 3.2...

Ken,

Ok I'll settle for a drive... Although if I can get a good deal on that 3.4 on Ebay plus find someone to do the conversion at a reasonable price I may have my own 3.4. Hmmm I wonder if anyone does 1 year no interest financing?
