Imagine an egg that has been 'balanced' using weights. Roll that egg along a flat surface.... get the picture? Its exactly the same, as it was exactly the same for my skyline which I too had the wheels balanced time and again....until I got to the specialist!
Ohh dont get me wrong i know what you are saying...but i have a going bad cv joint and i had put new tierods (cheap) and 6months later i have a bad alignment....I can assure you i have not hit any potholes so i think the smart thing will be to replace the going bad cv joint then tie rods and get new alignment then do the balance but with roadforce and as you said...i mean thats all i have left...but yea i agree with you...thats what had happened to the goodyear tires after 3K miles they were egg shaped.
