Hey OLE, Don't "shut up", your input has been great. I got the stabilizer from JOETLC.com. This car only has 6000 miles on it but I wanted to change out every possibilllity that I could. The orig one still had plenty of cushion to it as the new one. They were both identical and were made by Stabilus. The more I think of this the tires still keep coming up in my mind. The one thing I thought was that the tires were all Continental. Has anyone else had that problem with the Continental brand tire I wonder? Thanks
