Wheel balance

[SVTFocus101]

I got new tires a little while ago. I have had the wheels balanced 4 times and there is still vibration in the steering wheel only at speeds past 63mph. The rims are aftermarket, the tires are not oversised. The alignment feels fine. Any idea on what could be causing this?

Alignment could be out slightly, you may have a bad tire or maybe a worn suspension component.

For my truck, no-one around here has been able to balance my wheels properly. I ended up doing it myself on a bubble balancer and got far better results....

How did you do that?

Ummmm...I used a bubble balancer and some weights......


You can get a bubble balancer from Harbor Freight fairly inexpensively and weights are cheap too.
