Hunter road force balancer place in OC
Hi CL
i experiencing vibration when letting go of the gas pedal when going 70mph... I've been reading that a hunter road force balancer should take care of the problem.
Can anyone recommend me a place near costa mesa-lake forest area?
TIA

My buddy had it done on his BMW 5 series at America's Tire in Lake Forrest. After the roadforce balance he no longer had any vibration.
On a side note i had issues with vibration at high speeds once on my IS300. Turn out my wheels (BBS LM) and car only like to have the lug nuts bolted in by hand. If they are put in via impact gun then torqued by hand i get vibration, yet if they are bolted in by hand from start to finish no issues. I know it sounds strange but might be worth a try.

Well for me every time i have completely removed the wheels. And i have hub-concentric rings so i made sure the rings on installed directly on my wheels not my hub. THEN i hand tighten each of the 5 bolts down in a staggered pattern. once they are all hand tight i torque them down to the specified torque. (i think 80ft/lbs but don't quote me its better to look it up)
