<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been told for many years that the rear axle housing, brake assemblies etc on these cars are so heavy that any imbalance will not be noticed. Not so. I balanced mine and I could feel the difference. Also balanced a few other drums. I strongly recommend balancing drums!!! You will be surprised at how much out of balance some of them are.<br>

<div class="yiv7991754627MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Arial", sans-serif;">I had the tires shaved and balanced and the tech marked each tire as to the position the car. The best were on the front right left and the worst were rear right and left. Did not balance brake drums or anything else. Now only a little shake which is acceptable. Best $200 I ever spent on my BJ8, along with the new Michelin 180 tires which cost a little more.</span></div>

<div class="yiv7991754627MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Arial", sans-serif;">Hard to find a garage which has the equipment. You need to do an in-depth search for Shaving Tires Near Me. Fortunately, I found a great guy with the original equipment 2 hours drive across the state of Florida. Note, you may find garages listed that only have equipment for Truck Tires.</span></div>

<div class="yiv7991754627MsoNormal">Second------for the years I have had this car, I have hated the dreaded scuttle shake. I have balanced all wheels--even added the scuttle shake "mod" (cross beams on the inner body, behind the engine) and had the rear drums balanced locally. All to no avail-----between 55 and 65 there is comes again!! The drive was wonderful all the while as long as I drove slower or faster than these speeds.</div>
