for my birthday last february, Rich got me new wheels...i put them on like 5 months later once i had money, and the shop i got them on at, i thought did a bad job at balancing them...but it was too late to take them back to have em re-balanced, so i just carried on driving with a small shake, mainly from the side i hit the pot hole on.
its been like 6 months i guess, and the shake, i feel has progressivly gotten worse...so i was started to get fed up with it, so i today at 11:30 i went to sears, they have lifetime guarantee when u get your wheels balanced, so i was like ok, so they'll help me out. take it there, get them balanced..pay, and i go on my way...
i get onto 95 to head home but also check out how it handles and whatnot...and at 45mph...and 70mph and over i still have a shake, it felt worse than before, so i turn around, park, go in and tell the guy that just did it that its still happening, if not a little worse...so he takes it back in...rebalances them, new & different weights put on..everything..they come out fine...he tells me to go test the car and see how it does, and offers to come with me...im not that trusting so i have him stay there since its just me...i take it on 95 ...still a shake...go back tell him...and all he can say is that the balance is perfect..it might be my suspension?
i really dont have money to fix things....

if you hit a pothole hard enough to flatten a tire and break a wheel you should get an alignment.

^ that. I'd also check out tie rods and bushings. I bet it is really cheap to fix if you can find someone to help out.

Congrats Ken!!

grimm · 01-13-2011, 02:54 PM

congrats ken!! will there be any wedding bells in the near future?

HickRocket1258 · 01-13-2011, 03:01 PM

Nice Ken. I saw that on your facebook and had no idea if that was a joke or something.

Scapegoat · 01-13-2011, 03:09 PM

no joke! and no wedding bells yet. we're not actively rushing things haha, they just sort of happen fast on their own. engagement this year i think, maybe before the kid is born... maybe not. lot more important things to consider money wise than a ring. but i'm going to try my best to make happen.

jpalamar · 01-13-2011, 03:16 PM

Congrats Ken.

Snoozie · 01-13-2011, 03:59 PM

Congradulations, Ken and Becky! Just one question...are you going to get in the bathtub with her and receive the baby? lol

omgjacki · 01-13-2011, 04:05 PM

I'm sooo bored!

jpalamar · 01-13-2011, 04:07 PM
