Am more then sure you have a bent wheel..When you car goes to the right or left then they need to be balanced.

I have the same problem. The dealer told me I needed to get them balanced but they didnt say if just the front 2 or all 4 and I forgot to ask :/.

You're kidding right? Balance doesn't cause your car to track, the caster in your alignment does.Originally Posted by BRONX_BALLIN

If you have high speed vibrations you need to have the assembly balanced. If you have aftermarket wheels and don't have hub-rings, that can be another culprit.

You can do just the front 2, but you might as well do all 4 since you're already there and the car is already in the air.Originally Posted by blackonblack

Is it real? haha, yes, it's very real. I performed a road force balance on a car yesterday. The tire was marginal to start with and had a pretty bad hop with 24lbs of road force. After the ride matching it had no hop and only 12lbs of road force. It can also detect if a tire is defective.Originally Posted by mesias

The dealer charge me once like $70 for a Road Force Balance a while back. It was the only period of time when I could drive with my stock 17" without vibration!
