[Shotimes] Shimmy

[Steve Tatro]

I don't know.  It seems every time I get new tires, or have tires
swapped to new wheels, or whatever, I have to take my car back to the
installers/shop to get them all re-balanced.  I'm sure a portion of the
problem is lazy people that don't do it right the first time, because -
magically - they're always better the second time.

I'd say it's worth $20 to get a shop - a good shop - to balance his
wheels, even if off the car on the balance machine.

Oh come on guys!  If his steering wheel and dash are shaking that much
at 60 MPH, he's well past needing  the fine tuning that an
on-the-car-balance will give him.  Don't side track the poor guy by
having him start searching for a place that will do this.
