I'm starting to notice some shake on my MB's at 60ish. I've had them balanced twice in the year I've owned them. The 2nd time I had it done because the first place that aligned it after mid-perch had the alignment all ****** up.

I need to find Road Force place and let them handle it. They need rotating too anyways and living in an apartment while house is being built gotta let someone else touch it.

All sorts of wobble after multiple balance attempts on my stock BFG's and Method Standards. The best balance did come from the Road Force, however. I tried the progressive torquing of the lugs after reading this entire post.

Used the recommended star pattern to torque after I hand tightened the lugs as far as I could, began torque wrenching at 50 ft./lbs., up to 75, then 100, then 125, finishing at 150 ft./lb.

Amazing result. My 73 - 79 mph. wobble has virtually disappeared. You must try this with the lug centric wheels if you've got steering wheel wobble at all.............it makes a huge difference (with me, no doubt) and only about 30 minutes of your time with a torque wrench and floor jack.

:Pshyco:Bubble balance, dyna beads, **** force, lug centric,hub centric. My head is about to explode !!

Do I need a new set ? I'm useing the stock tires on my new NV's ? TPM's are expensive, pretty sure I remember reading you can use the same one's ? When it's time for a different set of tires do you need them then ?

Just swap the tpms sensors over from your stock rims to the new ones. Discount tire or your ford dealer will probably charge you for the rebuild kit for them (like 5-10 dollars per rim) when they swap them over to the new set of rims. No need to buy new sensors unless yours are messed up.
