Guys,

What are the common symptons of an out of balance wheel (wheel whoppling)? I know you can tell by looking at it when its moving in motion, but what happens if you are the driver?

Vibration of the steering wheel, etc?

Yeah vibration would be a sign.

 

i usually get the vibrating steering wheel at higher speeds, like on the highway.

what are your symptoms?

 

Keep on the lookout for aftermarket wheels/tries arriving your home "balanced".

When i got mine the shop basically guessed where the weights needed to go. All 4 wheels were WAY out of balance and needed to spend more money balancing them.

 

mdacko,

I don't have any symptons, but there was a slight bent on the front rim (hardly noticeable).

I tried to find a black shinny car to look at when I am driving next the car, but my rim is black making it hard to see.
