-- New brakes, new rotors.
-- A month ago the road noise began to build. Replaced wheel bearings thinking that was it. Nope. Mechanic said it was the tires that needed an alignment and were wearing unevenly.
-- Yesterday, I got get an alignment. I am 100% in spec -- completely aligned although the front tires did show odd wear. Rotated front to back and rebalanced on Hunter 9700.
-- Shocks seem to be working just fine. They were replaced 30k ago and car immediately settles on the rebound, no bouncing at all.
-- Road noise is a little better but not gone.
-- Out of balance shimmy is still there, especially 75-80 mph.

What is your take on either situation?
