Hi Gang, my G8-GT w/ 19 inch tires is about 2 weeks old. I noticed when I am driving about 30 mph and let go of the wheel, it rocks slightly back and forth. Does anyone have this problem? Thanks, AG

You shouldn't have that problem. Could be off-balanced rim or different tire pressures/improperly mounted tire.

I would bring it back into the dealership and let them know.

Oh, I suppose it could be due to alignment as well.

Sounds like your vehicle left the factory with issues, or the ride over messed some things up. I've heard that the way they strap things down on the boat causes suspension problems.

It's probably just in need of a wheel balance.. Mine had the same problem. and the dealer did the rebalance.. now NO problems :)

I agree with the others. You might have just lost a wheel weight (I assume they use the stick on ones on the inside.

I too agree with the others. Have the wheels checked they used the stick on squares and you could have thrown a weight and now have a tire out of balance.

mine did the same thing when I picked it up. Go get the wheels rebalanced by the dealer. Mine left front was only off by 1oz and it caused a very very slight shake. Don't let them try to charge you either when they fix it.
