“Rims unable to balance. I have had a jerking of hopping feeling ride from new purchase. Gunn Dodge in sa dealer in said it was the drive shaft and replaced still same feeling. Moved to austin maxwell dealer said it was tires. I had all four replaced and maxwekk said goodyear put four new bad tires on truck. B.s. I say it's the 17 inch rims. Had rims check and was told they seem too far out of spec because there are heavy balance weights on one side of rim and there are none heavier to counter balance the effect. Now why did Dodge dealer say it was the drive shaft and tires. …”
