I gave up trying to find why my GT6 starts shaking my fillings out at 60 
MPH, and took her over to a local pro.  He found a couple of little 
things wrong, like a small movement in the r.f. upper A-arm and a slight 
amount of play in the driveshaft's rear U joint, but nothing to account 
for the severity of the vibration I'm getting.

Of course, he also balanced the tires and they checked out fine.  But he 
tells me he sees "wobble" in 3 of the 4 wheels.  ...Eh?

These are 14" aluminum Minilites with about 50 miles on them-- no more. 
  Does anyone have any idea what the max runout should be on a cast 
aluminum wheel?
