Just a quick question - i took my car into honda the other day to get 4 new tires put on , since then i have a bad wobble when i break at high speeds ,
Now i dont know much on this issue but shouldnt the dealer have checked this before i got my car back - are they supposed to balance you wheels when you put new ones on??? - or am i going to have to pay another 60 bucks to get them balanced (Also if i do - i have a sub in the back that added about 40 or 50 pounds to my car - should i tell them this or will it make a difference)

Thanks in advance
Dave

If the dealer put the wheels on, they're supposed to balance them. It's not normal for new wheels to wobble at that speed... not even with a sub. You sub added 40-50 pounds, big difference. I've had me and a couple friends totalling ~ 600-700 pounds on the car and the car never hinted a wobble.
Ask the stealership if they were supposed to balance the tires with the installation. If yes, if they did it. I'd really prefer going somewhere else, local tire shop for example, and pay US$10 maximum to get that fixed.

Good luck on this.

definately the dealer's responsibility to fix your problem. they worked on your vehicle that now puts you in a very dangerous situation. bring it back and file a complaint. no dealer should be doing this ever
