I finally pursueded S/Mto drive my MM for the wheel shake .He claimed he felt two seperate issues after driving a new one back to back with mine . going to take it in this morning for what he suggests Road Force balance . I hope this solves it .I think I read here that road force balance requires less than 4 oz. of wheel weights .At least one of my wheels has twice this much.Maybe they will have to replace wheel(s)as well .This would be great as I noticed the chrome finish in the corner of the spokes is not shiny silver . and some pits in the finish as well. I will post my results.:rolleyes:

A little improvement on wheel shake after road force balance today. but still have some resonance feed back from wheel. I brought up other TSB's to service mgr he wanted to try this as 2nd. attempt to correct.Tomorrow round three:baaa:

Yea Teamrope, he said he would work with me . He does put me off because I work there . He did say he would try to perform tsb on Nibble & or steering gear torque ect. He seems to think there is some inherent shake that will not be able to perfected.:confused:

Road force needs no more than 2oz. of weight. The problem may lie in the tire itself.
Have the dealer put that new marauder that rides fine on a lift, pull all four wheels off, put them on your car, and do another test drive. If the problem is solved, you know it's a tire or wheel. My bet it's one or more of the tires, and not a rim.

The dealer that I work for did have to take "The Beast" to another tire shop to perform Road Force balance. I researched TSB's off fords website I couldn't find anything about the 2 oz. weight requirement. Do you remember where you learned this ? thanks Barry for your info it's much appreciated:shot:

After 3 Road force balances' S/M called B. F. Goodrich for a set of front skins. He said it will take about a week. I sure hope this solves steering wheel shake :confused:
