I had a similar problem, but it wasn't terrible, just always there and slightly annoying. My rotors weren't warped (no extra shaking during braking) but after I replaced them the wiggle went away...I guess the years of rusting unbalanced them or something. Andy

Oh man its about time!!!! I've been fighting with this problem, too. Did it also cure the bucking problem when you let off/step down while driving in lower gears? Any chance you have the TSB number? THANKS!!!!1 Andy

Don't know about the wheels, but mark@waukegantire.com quoted me 480 shipped for Hak 2's while my local Tire Factory wanted 700! The RSIs I don't know about.

The Green Diamonds are retreads aren't they? I suppose they remark the sidewalls so the tires all look the same. Anyway, that wasn't the point. Has anyone ever used these tires, or seen a comparison between these tires and studded snow tires like the Hakka 2's?

Did you stud your Hakka 2's?

Anybody know if Nokian Hakki 4's are available anywhere in the US? I've seen them at Nokian.com but haven't found them at any online tire dealers, just the 2's.

Lawson, Just to clarify the process of making the cables: Strip ends of wire, paint leads with paste flux, insert into ring connectors, crimp connectors, then solder leads to connectors (and the flux will draw the solder into the insulation and connector). If I use rosin core solder will it work with the paste flux? I'm going to use military style battery terminal clamps so I know I have a good connection. As for the sanding of the ground points for a better ground, do you put anything on it like dielectric grease to prevent corosion there?

Wow, that's quite the thing. They don't tell you how much wire you get with it, but for $20 including shipping it might be a good deal just based on the copper. Of course it would look horribly out of place in my completly stock engine bay.

Which ones do you run on your SUS?

Ok, I'm looking at snow tires for the '05. I run Bridgestone Winterfire Studs on the '95 for 4 years and have had a great experience, but Bridgestone only makes the Blizzaks now, it seems. I hear the Blizzack WS-50s are great tires in snow but can be dangerous in emergency manuvers in dry conditions. I've been looking at the new studless Blizzack REVO 1, it tests better than the WS-50s in snow/ice but I haven't found any all around tests. Anyone have any info on these? The next tire I'm eyeing is a studded tire, the Nokian Hakki 2, which looks like it would totally rip but I can't find any tests. Basically I want the tire that does everything perfectly, but they don't make that, but SOMEWHERE there must be a good all-condition test of current stud/studless snow tires. Anyone care to point me in the right direction, offer opinions, or give me some insight into new-technology snow tires?

I think I need to do the same, with a new battery and alternator I still have dimming light problems, and since one of my battery cables is getting ragged I probably will. What exactly is the process of "tinning"?

Sweet lifted wagon in the background too!

Give us a diesel electric hybrid and I would buy one in a second. Diesel gets great highway mileage and electric gets great city mileage. It seems so common sense to me.

Can you help me identify the PCV value? What does the PCV value look like, where should the hoses be coming from, the valve cover right? Andy

Ive read many times, and was told by the dealer, that those symptoms are cured by a fluid flush and a friction modifier, but thanks for in the input.
