so i just mounted and balanced my new BFG G Force Sport tires two days ago. they all balanced fine except i had trouble with one. it needed about 170 grams total around the inner edge. at first im thinking "WTF" but after i put all the weights on, it balanced out fine. ok, so i bolt the wheels/tires back on, with the troublesome wheel on the back right. now on the road, i have a slight vibration in the wheel around 55mph. so i think, "ok, just gotta re-balance the tires". but every time i drive the car, it acts different. every now and then it will vibrate. it's not a shimmy or shake in the wheel or seat, the whole car just kinda vibrates. then last night i took it up to 75-80 mph and the whole car started to shake VIOLENTLY. i could see the door panels shaking, everything was going crazy. so i cut it down. strange thing is, i took the car back up tp 80 this morning and got no shaking at all. didnt even get any shimmy at ~55. just a slight vibration at higher speeds that could have been road imperfections. so when i get to work i went to the back and kicked the top of the rear tires back and forth and they made a loud sqeaking along with a faint tinny clanking. possible wheel bearing?? what do you think could be causing this?
BTW: all my wheels are torqued down, no loose lug nuts
