[RE: high speed shudder]

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (Patrick Bureau)]

thinking about tires brings to mind as well to check

wheel hubs that match the wheels to the car (hub
centric rings) I used to have a nasty vibration @
70MPH with the ATS cups until I got them on... solved
that problem fast and cheaply too.
