Re: [FWDLK] Losing FILLINGS

Hello All,
Sorry Neil, the reference was for Lou, who I think is the original poster.  But, since you bring it up, have you ever found out what IS responsible for your buzzing mirrors?  The 69 car used to get into a harmonic vibration at about 125-130.  It would literally 'hum' along with a whirrrr....whirrrr...whirrr...pulsing sound.  I used to think it sounded like the warp core pulsing on Star Trek Next Generation (if anyone remembers that show).  Then I got the driveshaft balanced.  Kinda missed the whir.  My 73 car is doing it now, and so I decided to keep it that way.  I kinda wonder how many cars were built with improperly, or mis-balanced drive shafts??

Just a thought,
Charles.

I bwas just about to reply to Mike Higgins, when Charles' response, came
through.

I never associated the mirror's vibration ("What's behind me, is not
important"---Raul Julia, to Michael Sarandon, in " Gumball Rally")
with tire imbalance, because the car has been quite stable, and the
tires (ground-down wide-
whitewall radials) have shown no signs of abnormal wear (except on the
edges, from cornering). The car also has a 'modified' suspension, and I
(now) run the tires @ 32 psi, so this is not your father's Oldsmobuick
(Chevy Chase's car, in "Family Vacation").

Neil
