Especially on a something that wears down like tires, brake pads etc. I have the sane issue, I can even see my passenger seat wobble as well.

I had my wheels Road Forced balanced at a independent shop. Road force balancing simulates highway speeds above 45 mph. Conventional wheel balancing only simulates speeds up to 35-40 mph. You have to find a shop that has the machine. It's cost about 2-3 times more than conventional balancing. You can use this link http://www.gsp9700.com/search/findgsp9700.cfm. So far so good!

That link shows my Dodge dealer as having the Road-Force balancer. I wonder if they used it when I brought mine in for balance issues. The Tech didn't want to do anything but I persuaded the Shop Manager to do the rebalance.
It did help a little but it wasn't too bad to begin with.
