What do you need done?

[thelzer]

Great thanks. I'm having shaking issues at 65-75. I have had a an alignment and wheels balance but still shakes. Getting new tires this week but if I that does not fix it I need some help troubleshooting it. There are a few misc noises I need help tracking down. My dad is a mechanic in Colorado so I know how to wrench on things but not so good at troubleshooting. Thanks for the suggestions!

Roadforce balance at 15 pounds or less per wheel. Not sure who has this equipment in your area though.

[rodhx]

Yeah...what Roger said. Miatas are notorious for vibrations due to tire balancing or tire pressure.

Yeah that is what I read somewhere so thanks for confirming it! I'm going into the tire engineers/express oil on 119/i65 Dave at speed south recommend them. He said there was a guy who used to race there that does a good job. I called them up and talked to him. Richard is his name. I'll update and let you know how the experience goes. thanks for the help and advice.

Richard did a great job on the setup and the new tire fixed the shudder at 60mph.
