I'm so excited our first question.

Okay the first thing you might want to try is to ask your driver Relic he seems to really know how to operate your vehicle ..lol

Thank you Jerome best of luck with that...

LoL you guys are too funny... John I am having an alignment prob, I am lowered on ASD springs and KYB shocks. After installation I had it alligned by a friend at Lex of Pines. It was ok brand new tires front and rear no prob then i started to get a bad wooble turned out to be a real bad rear hub bearing. Changed out the hub but did not align it right after. I had some cheap ass rear used tires(4 in total) the were getting eatin up straight down the middle went through all 4 in a matter of 2 months (friends mount them for me for free) finally got tired of these problems and of beaing a cheapo. Got a brand new set of rear tires and a frsh alignment. That was Tuesday and well its almost all good now but I am still getting this slight little wooble WTF ? Fresh tires hubs are good and even fresh rear rotors and pads dont understad why i feel this its not bad nor do I feel it all the time is just me cuz I have been ridding it like that for a while or what. This is very frustrating hope you understand my long ass post

How much weight is needed to balance the rear wheels? It could be a bent wheel.

Could be a couple things (headache). Your buddy that hooked up up for free balanced them wrong or didn't measure the wheels rightput on more or less weight(this is noticed from 45pmh to 75pmh), defect in the tire from factory(can check with road force balance machine),loose component due to you remove the hub causing a vibration, bent wheel, Caliper issue (if when braking), drive shaft issue (bad rubber couplings,bent, weight broke off). See if you can get those items checked over tobe sure that is not the case. Get back to me with your findings.

I don't know who said it was bad or good ,but with OBD2 cars they have capacitors that can save the temporary memory up to a day (not sure with newer models). With OBD 1 cars it clears the memory after about a hour so that does work,or the use jumper the diag port the clear the ecu. OBD 2 stores engine codes ,but you can clear the temporary driving conditions previously on it. So if the error condition comes up again it won't take so many drives cycles and it will turn right on once it is noticed. Take it to advanced auto to get it cleared for free. If you don't like them take it to a dealer and they should help you out. If you short to much power into the ECU by accident you can fry the board. If you decide to be a jackass and open the ecu up and touch the board you can fry it with static electricity (I am not joking!). That should answer your question.

Anything over 4 ounces on each side(dual plain balance) of the wheel is a definite sign there is a wheel issue or a tire casting issue. If it is a static balance (in he middle)anything over 5 ounces would be to much.When I worked for Goodyear we had some tires that needed to be recalled cause the castings where out of round and the rims where fine. This is one wheel not both.

It can also be your tranny mount. On my 97 SC, I noticed a slight vibration so then i read about the mount. It's a pretty cheap part from the dealer and I was able to install it in about 20-30 minutes by myself with regular floor jacks. It made a night and day difference.
