    Check your wheel bolts.

      just wondering what he is supposed to be looking for?

      I can't read your mind, but are you thinking loose bolts...then again he just switched wheels so they should be tight.

      Thanks

      edit:
      well I'll try and give a suggestion also...
      check wheels for mud buildup on the inside, if they are clean, get them checked for balance. sometimes weights fall off.

        Key word: should. The bolts can loosen up after a couple days driving if they where not torqued down right. I think that more then likely it is a wheel out of balance though.

          Kinda OT but I hope you don't still tighten your wheel bolts like crazy.
          I remember last year at Fahrfromhome you got a flat or something and from when you were changing the tire I actually saw you JUMP on the tire wrench to tighten your bolts EXTREMELY tight. That is just plain wrong and you are doing more damage than good.

            weak shocks up front will cause that problem as well.

              ok guys figured out what was wrong.. at first the vibrations were minor.. due to an inbalanced tire.... then i switched the wheels around and the wheel i put on from the back made it worse also due to balancing, i dont understand how they can be off now, i just got them balanced before the end of last summer season... so i threw on my winter rims and bam no more vibration thanks for all the input!! cheers
