tried everything, cars still shaking
so i got a couple of my bent rims repaired recently, and put brand new tires on. ive watched the guys at the shop mount and balance the wheel onto the tire, and according to the machine, they all balance out perfectly. they even did a road force test to adjust the high spots in the tire to the low spots on the wheel (im told that all wheels and tires have high and low spots no matter what).
so according to the machine, im in perfect balance. however, when driving, once i hit 70mph, the car shakes. its not coming from the steering wheel, but rather up through the body and i feel it in the seats. this makes me assume its the rear wheels and not the front.
is there anything that can be done at this point to stop the shaking? they insist that the wheels and tires are perfectly balanced. i saw them put each wheel and tire on the machine, and once the weights are added, the reading comes out to a perfect 0.00oz. however, when i view the tire spinning on the outer circumfrence, i can see it's not spinning perfectly round by a millimeter or two. the guys tell me this is normal, though. any solutions or options?
