I am having problems getting my wheels balanced on my SDL. Have had them
balanced, on the car, off the car, and with road force machines, but they
still become unbalanced quickly. I am assuming it is the balance as the
wobble/vibration is felt in the steering wheel mostly. What else would
cause
Condition of drive shaft flex discs?
Did the balancing weight (s) fall off a wheel?
My thought would be return to the last shop that balanced them and ask for the
re-balance to be covered under warranty.
Perhaps the pain of warranty work will spur them to either do a better job or
diagnose

Could be a bunch of things singly or in combination. Front end felt
through the steering wheel could also be rotors a bit warped, bearings,
the belowmentioned suspension bits, rim(s) out of whack a bit, steering
box probably easiest to isolate from easiest to more difficult.

cause this other than balancing.
My vote is something loose that is not keeping the wheel stable,
perhaps allowing it to wiggle our bounce and thus
Worn spindles and bearings could also be suspect. Rotating parts are more
likely to cause vibrations than non-rotating parts. Worn front ends are
more likely to cause irregular tire wear.

That's assuming all the obvious has been looked at - shocks, steering
linkage, etc.

Steering damper?
