I have had ongoing problems with my front tires dribbling at speeds around 65-75 mph. I've gone through 2 sets of tires, had my front suspension checked, rotated the tires, as well as checked wheel bearings. Everything checks out, but the tires continue to dribble. Don't think I have 2 bent rims.

Help! My luxury SUV rolls like a cheap sedan! Love, love this car, but need to address this problem ASAP. Any advice??

lower control arm bushings? Sometimes they act up when there worn. What exactly do you mean by dribble?

The front tires bounce un and down. Dribble, like a basket ball. Totally annoying. Am concerned that this ongoing problem may cause additional damage to the car. Any advice?

Are your tires cupping? If so, that is an indication of weak front struts. Once that starts there is little you can do other than perhaps having the tires shaved to save them.

Either way I would look for a shop that has a Hunter 9700 force balance system.

Great advice. I'll check it out. This has been ongoing for years, and I haven't been able to resolve it. Thanks!

sounds like a suspension (struts) problem.....

BTW, what tires do you have on your RX at the moment? Just curious.

If the tires and wheels check out OK with the Hunter then you can have this new shop take a look at the suspension pieces to the puzzle.

change the front struts

I would find a shop with a road force touch balancer, have them spin up all 4 tires, and figure out which one(s) are out of round.
