Hi all, another question from a newbie....

I just completed major refit on a recently purchased 2000 XLT. New Rancho 9000XLs, Powerslot rotors with Hawk pads, new ball joints, right front hub. Also new BFGoodrich AT KOs, stock size, and then a front end alignment.

Huge difference, but I have noticed sometimes intense vibration at 65-70. I'm new at a truck this big, so I don't know if thats out of the ordinary or not.

So is this a trip back to the mechanic, or to the tire place.

Thanks!

 

Make sure all the weights are still there, in any case, go back to the tire installer. None of the other changes would normally make a vibration.

 

Wheel weights, right? Will do. Thanks very much.

 

Often the tire installer will have equipment that balances anywhere between 40-60 mph. Many times a big heavy tire requires some fine tuning and may need to be rebalanced after weight matching the wheel to the tire and at a higher speed (high speed balancing). Should be a simple fix... Good luck

 

That makes excellent sense. Thanks!
