Quite a few more than not. You'd be surprised that something with the thickness of a business card can cause a vibration problem, such as, a bar code sticker on the back of the wheel, rust/corrosion on the wheel mounting pad or hub. So much stuff to consider. Years ago we never had to worry about these problems. With the complexity of todays vehicles those things are things that MOST shops do not even consider. ALL of my techs are trained and skilled in these areas before they are allowed to even touch a customers vehicle.

Tireman.....

I thank you for writing the above. I have been trying to tell members of this forum, as well as others, that exact same thing. I even provided that information and the TSB #, to a friend who is a GM Service Advisor. He and the technicians were not even aware of it......opps. Surprising how many of the "rotor shimmy" problems were resolved.

Hey, if you were closer I'd come get my Goodyear Eagle Response Edge tires from you.
