Hi guys, I wrote in a while ago about my '03 lemon (SE) that the dealer agreed to swap for a new '04. Well I got it, it went well for 50 whole miles or so before this NEW one was in the shop for huge vibration in the steering column. It's fixed now, dealer said it was balance, but I just wanted to write in and ask what could cause that... Especially right off the lot. Man - I really must have pissed off the Disco Gods somewhere in my life.

Front wheel balance weights probably were not stuck right. (Wax, oil or something else on the rim before they were stuck in place. ) or heck, they might have forgotten them.

Simple problem, easy fix, and I cant imagine it could do any harm fortunately enough.
