I recently bought a 2014 f150 lariat crew cab 4x4., it has 275/55/20 Pirelli scorpions, the left front I noticed has a long row of wheel weights on it. It has 26, .25 oz weights on it... I think it is a little much !!... Probably a bad tire or bent wheel.... Also I'm getting a little brake pulsation from it also... The truck only has 5,700 miles on it... Is all this covered by the warranty ??
|
They balance out like crap most of the time. Your brake pulsation is your rotors. If you f don't have a vibration at 60mph or a shimmy I wouldn't worry about it
|
Yes it does have a little vibration when driving and pulsation when brakes are applied Are these items covered by the 12/12 warranty ?
Maybe a ford rep can answer my questions ?? |
Yes it should be covered. Take it to the dealer you purchased it from and they should fix you up.
|
I got my rotors turned for free on mine when it started pulsing when I hit the brakes.
|
If it's vibrating when going down the road, see if they will swap a tire to test. 26 weights is an obnoxious amount to balance a tire.
|
i've never seen someone take the time to put more than 3 weights on without spinning the tire on the rim and starting over. some tires just weren't meant to be on some rims, my dealer swap a tire for me no problem when i had a vibration.

If your having issues with balancing your tires I recommend what all the off-road tires are using--balancing beads instead of weights.
|
While the beads are pretty neat, tires and rims at the stock or near stock size should be able to balance conventionally. Beads should be a last resort for this.
