New wheel bearings and races where needlessly installed and the steering vibration damper was replaced. Come to find out after getting continental involved is that this is normal for that low profile tire. Vibration will occur at 35 mph to 45 mph until the tire has reached a certain temp.. However the tire dealer has agreed to send the car out to have the tires" road forced" balanced. Personally I don't think this will solve the problem either. I think that this is the nature of the belt that is used in the tire. Anyway I guess I can live with it since I know where the problem is. Everyone including continental has been very nice and has tried to get the problem solved. Just thought you might want to know.
