Steve,

The shocks were replaced with HD Bilsteins right before I bought the car, about 62000 miles ago. The right rear shock was not mounted properly (the lower bolt into the a-arm was in the plastic bottom cover). I reattached it when I got home from Utah (2000 miles). The last alignment mechanic noticed the above mentioned right rear shock was leaking slightly. Since I haven't noticed any problems from the rear, I've left alone.

Based on what I told my mechanic he thought it'd be wheel bearing also.

Larry,

My mechanic does dynamically balance the tires. All four. He uses a flat flange and a centering cone on an old '79 Hunter like the one you almost bought. He says nobody every comes back with problems. I've had the tires balanced "on the car" in the past and have had the same/similar type problem.
