Default Re: Maiden Voyage= Failure

Front end shimmy can also be caused by the front wheels being out of balance . It is easy to balance 19" wheels as the lead balance weights just clip on the rim . If you think they are unsightly clip them on the inside of the rim . Some tyre shops cant balance these wheels so try it yourself . Jack up the front and sptn the wheels you might be surprised how far out they are . Most tyre shops will give you a handfull of weights for free . Also check wheel bearing adjustment . Should have slight rock at the rim , not too tight or you will cook the bearings .
