    Tire Bounce...

    Where can I find a bubble balancer that fits the 4 1/2” hub diameter of the HMMWV wheels? I have only found them with 4” max diameter. I’d love to DIY balance if I could WITHOUT centramatics... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    After my own attempt to align (which was close) I took it to a shop that would put it on the rack. An hour later and a little tweaking and toe is set properly AND the bounce has gone away (or 90%, the rest is tires and that's the next fight). Drives much better than 3 weeks ago! They checked...

    Tire Bounce...

    I found a small shop today that is willing to do it, they work on RVs and odd stuff. They can’t do it for 2 weeks (only open a couple hours a day because COVID), but that gives me time to check out some other things before taking it in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    Both refused to do anything with “split rims” and won’t balance with the runflat installed. Supposedly there’s a truck shop that will do it but I can’t get them to answer the phone... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    I took the centeamatics off entirely and the only change is the bouncing starts at 55... I’m still looking for a shop that’s willing to do an alignment even though I’ve already done the string and TM methods. I’m going to borrow a camera this weekend to try to see what’s happening. Very...

    If I could safely do that I’d be in business! Still have a couple other things to check, but this is on the list for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    I haven't found a local shop that will do alignment yet, but did do the alignment (string and TM method) myself. Not as good but most places dont' want to touch a "H1" around me either...

    Tire Bounce...

    I'm glad I'm not totally losing my mind thinking there was something easy I was missing. All of the parts replaced were worn and ready for replacement, so I wasn't throwing parts at it, but beyond this I might be! I have a dial indiacator and will check the runout of the wheel on the hub and...

    Tire Bounce...

    VERY familiar with the 24P-1, only place to get parts info. Hoping someone had an idea of what, I'm not interested in throwing parts at a problem... Springs are Figure 192 same manual...

    Did that, made no change. Doesn't matter what wheel and tire are on there.

    Tire Bounce...

    I've been running through all of the mechanical stuff on my 87 M998 and am down to one last annoyance, drivers front tire bounces between 56-59mph and I absolutely cannot find it. Below is what I've done so far (not throwing parts at it but fixing neglect): Spindle Nut - Bought the 6K...
