New BF Goodrich tire balance.
Bought new tires have had them balanced about three times at place where I bought them and it still has a shake in the steering wheel at 110kms. They fineally told me my driveshaft needs balanced. Why? It was fine before.

The old tires were 235 75 r x 15 the new tires are 235 70r x15.

new rotor, wheel hub,bearing, assembly on drivers side. New idler arm, new monroe steering stabilizer. The shop said they would take a look at the front end to see everything was tight. Never said anything to me so I guess everything is ok.

\Question: any body had good results from sonar balance or road force balance, after similar problem as above. Road force is $25 cdn a tire, sonar $18.50 cdn a tire. which would be recomened. Thanks for any

input.

That road force deal is a good one. Will condemn or rule out a tire balance problem once and for all. Might first try rotating tires from front to rear and see if the problem goes away or the shake goes into the body rather than the steering wheel.
