Tire/Wheel Balance ? Bounce ?

[Aubrey N Bruneau]

Been a while, guys ! Have a new computer, but forgot my password, so I had to re-connect this old one !

I'm wondering if anybody else has encountered this problem, and if so, can it be remedied by "normal methods ?

I've got American Racing Trackstars, with new M/T rubber.
Over 70 MPH, the car shakes pretty bad... as in quite a wheel balance problem.
An AWFUL LOT of money for wheels that don't run smooth ???

Anyway, I was removing them the other day, and noticed that with the nuts cracked loose, the wheel can be shifted "up and down" about an 1/8 of an inch !
This CAN'T be helping the situation !
So, I am thinking of having small aluminum collars machined, which will centre the wheel properly on the hub/axle.
Is this something that somebody else has had to do ?

As far as basic wheel balancing, the wheels don't seem to have a suitable place to stick weights.
I'm thinking that an ordinary "static" balance would be sufficient... especially in the case of the little 4" wide front wheels ?
yes ?

as always, thanks guys !
