Following up on the thread on Forced Matched tire balancing going back to Mar 18, 2003 when someone named Mark posted an excellent discourse on tire balancing, I decided to give it a try. The friendly folks at Discovery Ford in Burlington, Ontario, Canada did mine. Ok it was on a Ford Taurus but that car has always given me balancing problems so I thought it would be a good test. Wow, what a difference!

The car is now rock-solid smooth well beyond highway speed limits and speeds that I would ever normally drive. Not only does it make driving more of a pleasure but it reduces the wear and tear on suspension parts. For more information, check out Hunter Engineering Co’s GSP9700 website at www.gsp9700.com/pub/technical/. Not every garage has the right equipment. Ask around.

Guess my 740 will be seeing the inside of a Ford garage in the near future.

Thanks again, Mark.
