RE: 4kq vibration

[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Ya know that's something I had run through my mind as well.  We'll
probably balance all four tires next week before we start to tear into
the drivetrain.  It actually is NOT stupid to consider something as
simple as this.  I know that one my dad's customers who has a 325ix had
this problem when just one weight came off his left front wheel.
Thanks!
