RE: [Chrysler300] front-end bounce at 35- 45 MPH

["Louis M. Barrie" <lmbarrie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are we dealing with a bounce or vibration? If it is a vibration between 35
and 45, then it might be a natural tire resonation - this can and does
happen with high profile, large tires.  Balancing to the light side of the
heavy spot on the tire can change this characteristic. Learned about this
with my Porsche many years ago.  You might have to high speed balance them
on the car.

If the car is bouncing from bumps, you might need a heavier shock absorber.

Can't seem to get rid of a bounce in the front end my C convertible.  this
is what has happened so far:

Balanced the wheels...no improvement

Balanced the wheels & tires..no improvement

Balanced the front drums...no improvement

changed the front wheels and tires out for new rims and tires...no
improvement

everything in the front end has been replaced, ball joints, bushings,
brakes, bearings & seals etc.

Anyone have an idea of where to go next?  We are at the point where we are
going to balance the tires on the car and hopefully get the bounce out.  But
this will not solve the problem for the next time I have to change out the
tires or wheels.
