Subject: Re: Vibration at 70 won't go away?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
How do the tire treads look? I have had similar problems with my old Buick
and found out that inside the tires the steel belts can "cross" ...in effect
move---- kinda like when an old steering wheel grip will spin back and
forth...I have been told that this even happens with new tires.
just my 2 cents
