Default Crappy HWY or bad balancing?

im curious as to whether you guys have felt the same thing as i did

there is this section of hwy 91 in Richmond that made my steering wheel vibrate badly everytime i drive by

it is the section that alderbridge ends and hwy 91 starts all the way to Knight St. exit

heading East bound

anyone felt the same thing before?

try to hit up another stretch of road, usually u feel the steering wheel shake around 110km/h to 120 km/h

if u do, then u probably just had a weight fall off the wheel.

GS is prone to have wheel shake, mine does at 80-100... try have them road force balanced, There is a Ford dealership I went before with my eclipse a few years back to do a road force balance, it's at about cambie/oak on south marine dr.... maybe give them a call or see who else have a road force balancer...

I did a normal balance and it helped a bit on my GS because I don't know who have a RFbalancer here...
