    They shouldn't have moved if torqued properly. Make sure, and I can't emphasize that enough, that they use very liberal amounts of anti-size compound coating those sleeves on your drives. Or you will regret the day you ever had them installed because they will seize on there and be a Mo-Fo to get off if they don't. I wouldn't even have them on there myself if I wasn't the only one doing tire work.

    I know this is an old old OOOOLD post but I have the exact same wheel hop you mentioned in a 2013 volvo 780 with the d13 and ishift trans. Were you ever able to ultimately and finally cure the issue you had? I think in my case I probably do have off centered wheels. One tire shop said I had runout, went to another shop and they couldn't see anything wrong with the tire. Sometimes it will smooth out and have a little like an oscillating vibration, but #### man it's difficult getting it to a speed it isn't doing that junk.
