    What he said
    $600 for steers sounds pretty cheap, unless that was each, guessing they ain't 'Mercian made.? Out of round tire or wore out hub pilots?

    They sell centering nuts, think ya use 3?
    That way the wheel is actually centered on the hub. That's why I'm a budd wheel guy..

    Install TruBalance centering sleeves on all axles if you have drum brakes.

    I have had those make a big difference. Especially on Conmet hubs

    steel rims or aluminum?

    Balanced does not mean it is not bent.

    aluminum rims, and I checked that after replacing all front wheel bearings.
    Still does it at 65, and stops around 68 mph. WTF??

    Will now try anything - TruBalance sounds like the next experiment.

    I wasted entirely too much time on this already.
    The money is an investment, the time is a loss.
