I don't know if you remember me. I had a problem with car wobbling at 50 mph only. I was told by two mechanics that my left rear tire was out of round. I changed it while doing alignment and wheel balancing. I did this in January (why I am doing it so often I don't know) and now the symptoms have improved but not by much. What should I do?

Unfortunately, we need to have it checked again and this time they need to make sure the wheel itself is not out of round as well. Normally when the tire is out of round it is from hitting a pot hole or curb or something like this. If that is the case, then there is a chance that the wheel is affected as well.

We need to have the tires and wheels balanced using a road force balance machine. Let me know what the road force number is that they find on each one and we can go from there. Thanks
