    Once you get someone to check it for you you can then eliminate it from the problem.
    Have you tried rotating your tyres ?
    Must be getting close now

    bugger mate.. did it feel tight?

    i also remember you saying about the tyres?
    have you had a chance to try a second set yet?

    Darren told me once that the patrols dont notice unbalanced tyres on the rear.. so maybe if your up for it swap the rear tyres to the fronts.. see if that makes any change..

    Most vehicles will get away with no balance on the rear tyres

    threedogs, biggqwesty...

    I slowly tightened the adjustment ring little by little until I couldn't feel any play. Slackened off and checked, then nipped up again to the next closest hole. Wheels would spin freely, but not excessively freely. Have done a good drive at 100kmh, after which I got out and checked the hubs for heat. All seems fine so I guess I must have done it right.

    Next will be tyres, probably rotation first, and see how goes. When the fronts were rebalanced the last time, they said the rears had no weights on them, so I guess that backs up what both of you have said.

    Going to see if I can swap tyres front to back this week, weather and back permitting, but just a thought, say when driving, driver side front wheel is rotating clockwise, now if that was put onto the passenger side, it would be rotating counter clockwise, or opposite direction. Would this possibly make a difference? As in wear pattern on a mud terrain? I've heard older MUDs that have done a few kms feather on the tread blocks (not that I can see on mine nor have they done high kms) or whatever, but just part of my thought process...
    Was thinking that when the bearing/swivels were done, maybe the tyres weren't put back on the same side they were taken off from, so in effect, this would have upset the wear and also the rotation pattern that has been kept up since tyres were new?

    I would say it would wear differently but to be honest I haven't noticed ever on my busses, and that's the normal rotation recommendation.

    If your tears are not weighted then I guess wait for the ration period and then do it. No point in forking cash out early.
