Looks like they had to come up with something to accommodate crappy tires quality. Thank you for link. That does not balance entire end though, as rotor and driveaxle are also moving masses.

AQZ, forgot to say. Overinflate your tires. As to like 40-42. What that does it stretches tires and belts inside, leveling them. If after that low speed wobble is reduced or went away - you DO have out of round tire. Then bring pressure back to normal and then it simply needs to be chased down which one is doing this. There are procedures for that. No choice, it will have to be replaced.

That would be me...Raylor4...Installed KYB shocks on the rear of our 2011RX350 FWD because OEM shocks gave bumpy ride, especially in the back. Ride improved markedly, cost $68 or $78 each + local shop installation. Worth it to me because I hated the bumpy ride in such a nice car. This has nothing to do with the Original Poster's concern, however.

Thanks for that info, Ray. I'm trying to find a weekend to do the KYB's before we leave for our 1500 mile trip in early November. I believe I can get it done, though.

Back to the OP's thread. Sorry for the hijack.
