Didn't you have spacers? Or have those been removed?

Still getting a vibration in the steering wheel at highway speed (after new wheels and road force balance). What to check next? Wheel bearings? Tie rods?

Those might be worth a check.

Didn't use any on the new wheels. It's a little better than the before, but it's still there. Plus steering is a bit twitchy, but not because of the Super Sports. It'll pull a bit when braking.

Those might be worth a check.

Copy that. I didn't have enough to do today or anything

Let me know when you figure it out. I have a slight wobble after new pads, rotors, tie rods, CA'a, CAB's, rack, wheels and tires, also road force balanced. Maybe you're in the same boat and I can learn something too.

Let me drive the car for a day. She just needs to get sideways a bit.

This is a photo of my aftermarket lift pad sitting on my new Harbor Freight jack. Is the pad high enough?

That should be fine given that the plastic lift pad on the car sticks down a bit.

If you go to lift it and the metal ridge on the jack plate starts digging into the frame, then I would like to change my answer to "no."

Thinking of adding a round plywood spacer under the lift pad
