Update on my steering wheel vibration issue: Dealer will replace the rotors (only 2-3k miles) and at the same time we had re-balanced the new 20's with diamaris and found that 2 had RF of 18 and 1 has 26 the other close to 30. I called Tire Rack who opened a case with Michelin directly ad now Michelin wants the dealer to contact them and give them all the data for the balancing of the tires before they consider replacements. More to come.

I want to get!
Yes, I too miss the 80's. I was Air Force bound.....except being blind as a bat (I don't even see the big "E" at the eye doctor) disqualified me for left seat.
So, I spent the 80's designing inertial navigation for just about everything.
When the Gulf War broke out, my cousin from CA (very liberal, product of the 60's) called me on the phone screaming:
"Those are all your weapons! Look what you've done"
Ah, better than Viagra

Okay sorry rest of the forum.. two military guys driving Cayenees with Bravo Zulus for each other's similar service in our nation's defense! Oh and compatriot..... lighten up on the Cayenne -- its still pretty impressive engineering!

It's a small world after all. Who'd thunk former ASW chatter via a Cayenne forum? Guess that shows the Navy "fixit" method.. don't believe the manuals and keep looking for a solution. So for those still looking for solutions to shimmy/vibration and not this "love fest".. just two last words: ROAD FORCE!
