front wheels 35g and 45g out.

rear wheel 175g out..............ye gods!!! Other rear 60g out.

Got all rebalanced properly and she is as smooth as silk again.

VERDICT: The new bushes were mounting the rear subframe far more securely allowing the severely unbalanced rear wheel to transmit shake through the car.

Overall, the car now steers and handles better and is much quieter. I am very pleased.

get no knocks or shaking but could my camber not being adjustable be caused by this?i adjust had the camber and the toe goes nuts, and vice versa..should adjusting one throw the other out?
