Thanks, Keith. The drums have been balanced. I think it's untrue wheels.

Bob, 

I have probably posted this before and forgive me if I have. But I found much 
of my "shake rattle and roll" was eliminated by balancing the brake drums. 
Especially a concern with 4 on your 100. Find a bubble balancer (borrowed one 
from my mechanic) and some weights and you should be able to do it yourself. 
Made a big difference on my BJ8!!!!!!

true and I'm wondering if I can expect the shake to diminish or even go away 
entirely if I can find someone to true them. 



TIA, 

Bob
