Whats up everyone. Iam new to the club. I just brought a GS 300 and Put 19s on it. Since they have been on my steering wheel has been shaking at 50-55 mph. Can anyone help me out with this problem.

thanks chinspot and JPI. I have taken it in for a balance twice. I'm thinking that they didn't do it or they didn't do it correctly. Is there something else to recommend.

if it's not alignment and wheel balance then you should have the steering wheel pretensioner checked out

is that a dealer recommended check or can i take it to an aftermarket spot.

manhattan1 - are your rims hubcentric? If not, do you have centering rings installed? If not, you should.

Also, wheel shake problems are related to:

- balance
- tires (worn, cupped, poor quality, defective)
- rims (bent, or poor quality)
- alignment (which can cause problems with tires)

If your tires are out of round, or the tire itself is somehow unbalanced, it may not be possible to get a smooth ride with them (you'll have to replace them).

I speak from experience with all of the above problems at one time or another!

Also, you need to find a GOOD balancing place that uses Hunter equipment and as JPI says, they need to do a road force variation balance. I even get an 'on car' high speed balance done in addition to the regular balance.
