Anyone, '85 Westy with 395K miles. This has been a persistent problem for quite some time - first noticed it on a trip to Pacific NW two years ago. I'm getting feedback through the steering (feels like a front tire out of balance) at speeds over 65 or so; most noticeable on really smooth, newly paved roads. I had the tires balanced (3 times on that NW trip), rotated the tires (Yoko 356), replaced the tires (went from C to D range - balanced and rebalanced when mounted), had the front end checked (replaced one ball joint and did an alignment - they said the rest of the front end components looked OK). The front end shop told me there was no camber adjustment on the van, but I found in Bentley that there actually is. Any ideas? I've got a set of wheels with Pathfinders on them that I'm going to mount on the van tomorrow, just to see if there's any difference, though I'm not expecting a big change. TIA, Karl Wolz
