Re: Wobble that keeps pace with tires...

Well, long time on this update, but just in case.

Basically they wobble isn't truly gone right now, but has improved, and I have data giving a reason for it. The 'burb sat for 2 years, and the tires on the rear are the ones that were on it while it sat. They were out of balance (fixed now), but the tire shop also measured their "flatness" so to speak, and both were pretty sore in that department, not something that can be fixed short of new tires. They had some equipment that plotted this and they show you the results.

In the process, when i put the tires back on the burb, my clicking also went away. I'm presuming one of the old weights was touching somehow maybe, but not sure. Either way I couldn't reproduce it today. Even had the rear-end on jackstands, in gear rolling, or in neutral had spinning, and couldn't make it occur so I could trace it.

Case closed, for now...
