Folgado, that's not necesssarily . . .
correct: I do agree that a 'bad' or incomplete balance will reflect in the steering 'wiggle' but that's because it's not done properly.

My S500 suffered from this problem but when the tires (Michelins) were changed to "in-spec" tires and properly balanced, there is absolutely no 'wiggle' in the car at any any speed.

It takes in-spec tires AND the man performing the balance. BOTH must be right but it's very achievable.
