fyi, i got my front rims rebalanced... yeah, they're slightly bent... the steering wheel vibration was reduced but, not i feel vibration in the car itself... i think i'm going to rebalance the rear tires too... maybe they're F'd up as well...

man, i gotta pay more attention driving heh.

and if i still got vibration heh... definitely gotta go to the wheel shop

hey dj.. i did the daizen steering bushings and it reduced ALOT of the vibration in the steering wheel. the install only took me about a hour. It was a beyatch because it was uncomfortable working with jack stands but it was easy as far as what needs to be done. Major improvement of the shakes though.

I keep forgetting to tighten up the steering pretensioner.

We were at 106th tires yesterday (oohpapi/tone) Cliff was getting an alignment.

There is a spot where the guys fix cracked and bent rims. He fix one of my rims that I bought, L-Sportline M-IV 18" with a hair line crack and a slight bend for $55.

Turn around time was 24 hours and possibly same day if dropped off early in the morning.

**They don't do any re-chroming, polishing etc.

PM me if for more info.
