Default Smooth!

So, new stub axels, bearings, ball joints, control arm ends. Better, but no joy. Checked my recently balanced wheels and find 6.75 oz of lead in a big patch of 1/4 oz stick on weights on one, more than 4 oz blobs on all the rest! New shop, young guy will let me watch, and take suggestions! We did one wheel 4 times before getting it zeroed out with less than 2 oz! The rest went similarly. Huge improvement! Feels right finally!

There’s no test for this. But balancing is cheep. If you have a busy front end you might take a look to see how reasonable the weights look.

Best of luck!
