My experience and belief has always been that having wheels/tires well-balanced seems to eliminate this bounce/ shake or whatever you will call it. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Prior to my recently having mounted a set of Michelin XAS's my 100 experienced a bit of "shake" at 60 and the car was at that time wearing a pretty old set of XAS's that last saw a balancing machine around 10 years prior. After having the wheels checked and new tires mounted and balanced by Allen Hendrix the car is bounce-free at all speeds, and I did nothing else save mount up the new suit of rubber. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">I will let you form your own conclusions but my feeling is that--assuming a sound and strong car--the wheels/tires are often the culprit and thankfully this can easily be addressed.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 10:13 AM, Bob Spidell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bspidell@comcast.net" target="_blank">bspidell@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><div>I'm well familiar with the (in)famous 'scuttle shake' in the 6-cyl cars; do the 4-cyl cars suffer from this as well? Our BN2 has a bit at the typical speeds--55-60MPH--but it's not as bad as my BJ8's. My wheels are not especially true and I'm wondering if I can expect the shake to diminish or even go away entirely if I can find someone to true them.<br></div><div><br></div><div>TIA,<br></div><div>Bob<br></div><div><span name="x"></span>--------------------------------<br>Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA<span name="x"></span><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
