[s-cars] Odd S6 Vibes

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Also, if it is a CV boot the grease has a tendency to get all over the
inside of the wheels and that really plays hell with the balance....however
the sitting for 6 days thing doesn't really play well with this theory....if
you didn't drive it very far I would go for the out of round tire theory
which should go away after 5-10 miles for sure....if not, it is something
else.

Just some random thoughts.

May want to check your front CV joints.  Maybe you have a torn boot on
one and the joint is on its way out.  Sitting around for the week the
joint may have seized up slightly.

Another thing may be that the tires have just gone square from sitting.
Have you driven it long?  The tires will eventually round out again.
This will vary from tire to tire.  I remember my Dunlop SP8000's used to
do this, just from sitting overnight.  First couple of miles was always
a little shaky.

Bob.
