but if all four wheels are balanced, then at high speeds the wheels are balanced. well unless the shop doesnt have a high speed balancer. most do tho. if it is computerised (most are) the wheels shouldnt have and vibration at any speed.
vibration at the steering wheel could be caused by one or more of the following: out of round wheels, bad alignment, bad suspension, worn control arm bushings, worn ball joints, worn tie rods, wheel balance, separated tire(s), im sure im missing something, but im on my pain meds right now and cant think straight...
