Wheel Shop in Central Florida

[hansv123]

Hey gang;

I need a quality wheel balance for my '85 Carrera and looking for recommended shops in central Florida. I've got a front end shake from 75-85mph that comes and goes about every mile or so.

BTW, just refreshed the entire suspension (front/rear, bushings, bearings, struts, shocks, the works) including pro alignment and corner balance. Had the shake pre-refresh so I'm pretty sure it's a balance issue.

Appreciate the help!

Best,
Hans

Also could be tires....how old are they? Have you checked the date codes?

[ShakinJoe]

Central Florida run from St Pete to Daytona. What city are you in?

[hansv123]

Date code is 1307, so i'm thinking 13th week (April) of 2007. Probably time for replace even with plenty of tread left. Thanks for the tip, can't believe i didn't check that first!

I'm in Orlando.

When I lived in Orlando I used Discount Tires the one across the street from High Tide Harry's restaurant. Always did fine by me.

I would look for a shop that does Road Force balancing as that will be the best balance you can do today. Try Orlando tire and wheel.

I've used multiple shops around Orlando who have a road force balancing machine and it's been perfect for the life of the tires each time. Goodyear on W Colonial was one place a few years back, just a little west of OBT. I also used action gator tire on 436 between aloma and howell branch years before that. Both of these places did a custom alignment to my specs too as long as I signed a waiver that I was requesting it. Recently I bought tires from the Discount Tire on 436 just north of Colonial and they did not use a road force balancing machine but they still got them perfectly balanced. BTW these were all on my old Subaru WRX with a custom wheelset, not my Porsche. I haven't taken it anywhere around Orlando yet.
