I had the tires shaved and balanced and the tech marked each tire as to =
the position the car.  The best were on the front right left and the =
worst were rear right and left.  Did not balance brake drums or anything =
else.  Now only a little shake which is acceptable.  Best $200 I ever =

Hard to find a garage which has the equipment.  You need to do an =

Second------for the years I have had this car, I have hated the dreaded =
