Kevin-

How exactly do you check them once they are off ??

Well good, glad it was something simple and cheap, sometimes chasing vibrations will drive you batty.

What kind of tires are you running stelerz? If you're still on the factory Firestones, they aren't the best, in fact they hardly qualify as tires other than being black and mostly round.

well......it's come back. Very intermittened. 60-75mph. I really am at a loss for words. Is there any way that it could be the combo of SS Balt springs/KYB's/Goodyears that I've added? Anyone else have issues with them? Less in the steering wheel and more in the seat now, so I'm thinking its in the rear. Maybe a bad rear hub? I'm tryin to listen for any humming/growling like the last hub issue I had. Haven't heard anything yet. As always, suggestions welcomed. I'm taking it to a different mechanic for a new set of eyes on the problem...

Have the different mechanic check all 4 hubs for bearing slop and lateral runout.... get a dial caliper on them. I need to have mine checked myself.
