Update everyone. After putting the stock front wheels and tires and leaving the steeda and contis on the rear, the shake in the steering wheel is gone at all speeds. So this helps me completely narrow it down to the fronts being the issue. Hopefully I can resolve the rest without it being a...

Taking off the fronts now and putting the stock wheel and tires back on. Gonna test to see if there’s any difference. Going to leave the steeda and contis on the rear

I’m not sure if my dealership has a road force balance machine. I left a message for the advisor, waiting for him to get back to me.

They are the steeda trident wheels. I’m honestly not sure if they did. The drivers side rear did need resealed because it was leaking from the bead. discount tire did mount them though.

Yes rims were swapped and the wheels and tires have now been balanced twice. Once at discount tire and most recently at Ford. I didn’t have the chance to talk to the Ford mechanic, just the notes about the two front tires being out of round and the two rears needing significant weight to correct.

Unfortunately the tires are much larger so swapping won’t work. I think in the meantime, I will put my stock wheels and tires back on until I can get it all resolved.

I’m hoping they warranty this set because I have a feeling it will turn into a messy chase to try and resolve it

Hey all, So I recently installed the Steeda trident wheels with the Continental Extreme Contact 02s and noticed recently that there was a very small shake in the steering wheel after reaching speeds of 50-65 mph. I took the car back in to get the balance checked and the technician advised that...

Will do. I’ve taken the first photo of where it is currently. I’ll stop and pick some up. When did it concern you to the point where you were like, “okay this is really not right” ?

I’ve been watching mine as it is below the min level. Hoping it is just the system having burped, but we’ll see.

I haven’t had it done because the thought of them just slathering on rubber sealant isn’t okay with me on a brand new car.

Back in the early manufacturing days, there was a period of 3 days where a supposed 11 vehicles were affected, but there could have been more. It was from January 30th - February 1st. Ford launched a harvesting program, labeled 24H01. It was never actually diagnosed as a valve seal issue, but it...

I’m sorry man, hopefully you get it taken care of. I would definitely file a case with Ford directly.

I think so too, just wanted a second opinion since my build date was of 05/24, which was the timeframe for the valve seal issue. The car doesn’t appear to burn any oil

Does yours look like mine?

Whatever ended up happening with it?

This exactly. With the substantial rises in costs and no wage increases to match, I don’t blame anyone for wanting perfection out of what they spend their hard earned money on. I’m just like you, meticulous about my car, down to every detail. It makes me sad to think about what my cars may have...

have you heard of any harm caused by additives? I was thinking on doing Ceratec to quiet it down but of course Ford doesn’t recommend using any additives.

Both my manual s550 that I had and manual s650 I have do it/did it. It goes away after the car is warmed up. Not really sure what the chatter is.

Nope as in?
