Michael Lawrance Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just put new tires on the front of my 2006 Mack. They bounce whildly from 45 to 55 mph. Does it need an alighnment? Do the kingpins need adjusting? Do the tires need to be balanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 balance them. I just took 2 floats off. watch them balnce them if it needs more then 4 ounces make them move the rim 180 if it is just as bad the tire is out of round or has belt problems. Allignment might help but real doubtful. Just put 2 yokohamas on the front and no more bounce. Problem is more tire. If it didn't do it before this you know the problem. Take it back if they give you a hard time start going up the food chain. If you have to call corporate for whatever brand you got. If these are new they will make it right. A good threat is if you are going to be buying more tires tell them you will take your business elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
