Wheel Vibration

Wheel Vibration
On Sept 13 I posted a steering wheel vibration problem I was having on my 2002 Audi A6 when driving over 50mph. My Audi dealer, YBH Audi , in Newtown Square, PA insisted that I had four bent rims. New rims would cost approximately $400 each. I priced at Pep Boys for around $600 for a set of four (what a rip off). Not believing the Audi dealerI next tried the least expensive fix. I brought my car to a local repair and tire retail store and asked them to re-balance my four tires. One hour later and for $50 the job was done. I tested it by driving it between 50mph and 60mph. Low and behold vibrations were all gone. I saved myself $1,550. The lesson is don't believe anything your Audi maintenance dept ever tells you. They are out to rip you off.

RE: Wheel Vibration
I wish I was as lucky. I got screwed by the stealer and theres nothing I can do. I bought all new wheels like they said and still have vibration. They are crooks and should all be put out of business. What good comes from the dealer??

RE: Wheel Vibration
Did the tire dealership tell you that you had bent rims? They would be able to tell as they were spin-balancing. If the rims were good, then you ran into an incredibly incompetent dealership and you should complain to the service manager. Document it in a letter and copy Audi of America or someone like that. Don't let them get away with it.
