Wheels on Car balancing-Kent

[Deano_BMW]

Anyone know of anywhere that has the facility to balance the wheels on the car. I cant seem to find anywhere that can balance my wheels up correctly. I've taken it to 5 places now, all of them have balanced them up with different weights with the same overall effect. Shake shake F G shake. Ive renewed all bushes, arms and brakes at the front so that can only leave balancing in my mind. From 60-90 it shakes like a bh, especially 70-85. Pain in the arse when all my driving is on the motorway.

Am i gonna have to bit the bullet and go to BMW?

Wouldnt bother with bmw if they even have their own machine i doubt it will be an on the car one iirc minister power in lordswood have one but there are plenty of places that should be able to do it properly have the tyres been checked out for distortion? What bmw is it?

Don't know how far you want to go, but a lot of PHers use Supertyres in Maldon - they are knowledgeable guys and really sorted out the handling on one of my previous cars.

If 5 different places can't manage to balance your wheels you are either very unlucky or I suspect the problem may lie elsewhere. Do you mean new discs or just pads? If it is the latter get the discs checked for run out. One of more of them may be warped.

Cheers guys, thanks for the replies. I forgot all about Minister-its only 2 minutes away

ended up biting the bullet in the end and going to BMW, i needed it done today as i'm off away on hols tomorrow with lots of driving .

End result=No more wobbles. 40 bloody quid though!
