Replaced rear rubber brake lines. Need to swap frame to axle line, but too damn cold. Will do in spring
Bled 32 oz of DOT3 out the rear after swapping lines. Fluid was pretty clean actually. But is now completely clear and new.
I suspected my drivers rear line was collapsing. I've had a sticking caliper that I couldn't fix. Seems corrected now. Hope, next is caliper replacement if it's not fixed
i have a similar vibration and I think it is a broken belt and i know which tire too. will be getting new tires soon enough
every time I've had a broken belt it wasn't a vibration. Was a rhythmic thumping that progressively got worse with speed. At least 2 tires on this X were that way when I bought it in June

How did you install the beads? Did you break the bead? Did you go through the valve stem? My 37's won't balance worth a crap, and am interested in doing the bead method.
these air soft beads are too large to fit into valve stem. I bought some smaller ceramic beads off eBay that were advertised to work using the valve stem...didn't. Don't waste your money or time. Go straight to the bigger beads like shown in my picture
I used 8oz per tire. The jug I bought was about 33 oz. With those 37's you will need more I think

I did 1 tire in the driveway. Used a bottle jack under the reciever to break the bead. was on there super tight. then simply poured the airsoft beads into the tire.
sadly, my air compressor at home is a piddly 2 gallon setup. didn't have enough volume to reseat the bead. I eventually used Carb cleaner and a lighter to set the bead...yikes!
I went on base and used the Hobby Shop to do the remaining tires. <30 minutes to do all 3 with proper tools and a large air compressor.
if you have a decent air compressor, this can easily be done on the ground next to your rig. Next tool upgrade is going to be a much larger air compressor
What kind of compressor were you looking at? The 15 gallon Dewalt has some nice features and portability. Ingersol Rand also has a nice Garage mate. I've looked into these, nothing serious as I don't have the space.
