Hi!

I'm experiencing steering wheel wobble at very low speed (<30mph) and I think it could be my 4 year old tires that's causing it. Also my tires are way overdue for a change.

Can anybody recommend good independant alignment and tire shops in orange county for my 1990 Volvo 240?

Thanks for the help!

    Go to http://www.gsp9700.com/
    and click on "Find a GSP9700 near you" to find a local shop.

    This is the best tire balancing machine there is! I had a real problem, and this solved it -- I'm a believer.

    It measures the roundness of the wheel* and matches it to the tire, along with balancing the whole wheel-tire combo when a force (analogous to the weight of the car) presses on the tire!

    [ * It points out, if necessary, where the tire bead has to be dismounted from the wheel to rotate the tire with respect to the wheel, for optimum positioning.]

        Did you check the tightness (or looseness) of the front wheel bearings? Could be causing this issue. I recently found my left front bearing needed tightening up on my 89.
