Thought this would be a good topic for my first post. In the past year, I've been having issues with my Mark shaking at freeway speeds. The vibrations would be in the wheel while cruising, entire vehicle at times, in the pedal and wheel while braking, all at different times. Sometimes they were there, sometimes they weren't at all. I could never figure out what the heck was wrong since all of these vibrations were so intermittent. I had the wheels balanced. Three times at different belle tire locations since they'll do it for free (I bought Michellin Primacy tires there two years ago - would recommend them to any Mark owner who simply uses their car for driving). I replaced my rotors - nothing. I had the dealer closely examine the front end for anything wrong - nothing. They had the car for a week and recommended a teardown of all four wheels to check for defects in the tires and wheels. At this point I'm thinking great, I'm gonna have to drop a bunch of money on new tires and wheels or this car is just eternally shaky on the freeway. I took the car to belle tire one last time and told them what the dealer told me. Turns out all they had to do was balance the wheels properly. The guy told me they "used their BEST tire balancing method." The car is now smooth as ever - even the brakes don't shake anymore.
My first thought is: "Why the F*** didn't you do this the FIRST time? Or the other two times?!?!" So, all this time and money spent trying to figure out a vibration over the course of a year only to find out that my wheels needed to be balanced properly. Unbelievable. I am now forever going to be "that pain-in-the-@$$ customer" that won't shut up about how their wheels need to be balanced perfectly. Anybody else ever had this issue?
