Hi all,

I just finished installing my CA's and something strange is happening. Firstly, the 960 is 1996, the tires are brand new. After torquing the ball joints and front and rear bushings I read some messages and decided it would be best to back off both the front and rear bushing bolts while on the jackstand. Torqued it all up after lowering on to wheel ramps so that the normal weight was on suspension. During the test ride I discovered a new noise/feeling that I can only describe as like a wheel is out of round or something is unbalanced. You can hear it more than feel it and it is definitely since reinstalling the CA's with new bushings and ball joints. Very irritating because other then that the ride and handling are great. I wish I could give you a better description than the above but it seems to be coming more from the right side then the left and all I can think of is a tire out of round. It definitely corresponds to the wheels turning.

I will be at my indys as soon as I can to see if they can shed some light but in the mean time I would love to hear the forums ideas.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
