Default Road force balancing

Hi all,

Looking for a shop in the lower mainland ( Vancouver ) that does road force balancing.

And wondering if its worth the time.

Thanks.

Gunner,

I used the fountain tire at the corner of 1st and Clark (1750 Clark) in May of this year. Dismounting and discarding old tires, mounting new ones (purchased from TireRack), roadforce balancing and nitrogen fill cost me $299.52. The roadforce balancing was $25 per tire.

Once I was done that I did an alignment (Levett's in North Van), and the car has no vibration at any speed I have driven , and it tracks as it should. I would do it again,as I've had a variety of wheel balance related problems in the past. YMMV.

Got the wheels balanced today, fronts out some but.....turns out the left rear wheel is bent.

Off to Panther to get it straightend out next week.

Hows about that, knew something wobbling at speed.

Must have been a pot hole.

Thanks for the shop, they were great.

Geoff
