OK, now I know I'm just cursed. Or maybe just my car is cursed. Possibly Subaru Bajas just don't like me. Maybe I've offended the tire gods in some way and should make an offeing to Vulcan(ized rubber)....... either way, this is just crazy......
So, when we last left off I was test driving my car with 4 different tires mounted on 4 different rims from a different Baja. Ok, this should prove the point. Yes?
Well- I road tested the car on Saturday and it was Vibration City. I bring it back and be on my way, saying that it seemed to be worse.
How COULD it be worse?
The on-going theory we are working on right now is that my tires suck and that trying different tires would prove that, or not prove that.
Well, enter today.....
They assure me there is nothing wrong with my car. And just to prove this point I take a ride with the GM in a different Baja. Surely this would drive the point home weather the vibration I'm feeling is just a part of being a Baja and not due to any defect. (and stop calling me Shirly..)
We get on the road and what happens? The steering wheel is moving around like a constipated wiener dog (thank you Wierd Al). The GM is in the and see and feels it.
This is not my car- but we have a big shimmy going on here too. And its not just me being a crank.
OK, get back to the dealership. Turns out....ok.....you'll love this..... although you've probably figured it out.....
This Baja I drove that isn't mine, to prove that the problem isn't my car, that had a worse shake than my car, is in fact... the car they took the tires off of and mounted on my car to prove that it wasn't my tires.
Wow.
Just Wow.
So OBVIOUSLY when these tires were on my car the shake would be worse!
So....well.....I'm just out of words right now..... stay tuned.......
