My 85 Vanagon has something wrong with the front right tire. I know it.
Of course..when the mechanic drove it...he didn't think so. He alternatly
thinks i'm paranoid and then makes me more paranoid by doing this "ooohhh..i
don't kow..it's an old van" thing to me.
But there was tons of snow stuff still around, so I thought perhaps i'd wait
to see if it was ice or something i couldn't see. Now that it's all melted
away (for now) and i've checked for rocks and weird lumps on the tire....i
can still very much feel it.It's feels like something is stuck ont he tire
as far as i can find a way to describe. Like a pulsing..but no sound.
Especially at low speeds and i swear it's getting worse. Has anyone had
these problems? I just got the tires (almost new) and they seem to be
balanced o.k. Could it be a break problem? I also got new front pads put on.

Advice welcomed..

thanks!
