Wheel balancing and vibrating steering wheel

[xccude]

Hey guys, I've got a problem here. I took my car to Ian Diffren Tyre Factory to get all 4 of my wheels balanced. Cost me $10 each and the guy told me something about CBL and it would still vibrate. The thing is, at 100km/h my steering wheel was vibrating x10 more than usual after the wheel balance. What could be the problem?

Edit - CBL not CLT my bad

CLT.. do you mean CBL?

Centre-bore locators.. they are basically plastic rings that fit into the centre of your rims, and they locate your rims onto your hubs, to minimise vibration.

Cheers for that. Post edited. So what do you think I can do to fix the problem? And where

Buy some cbl's to suit you car/rims.
Most good suspension/wheel shops will be able to refit your wheels and keep the wheel centered, but it will lose the centered position when you take them off.

Sounds like the guy at ian diffen was being lazy.

Where can i buy CBL?
Or do I just take it to for example, Beaurepaires and they will fit CBL's and do everything else for me?

Tyreplus in Maddington 9 493 3464
Ask for Andy (Andrew Arrowsmith) tell him you need CBLs for your car as you have a vibration at 100kmh he will sort it for you
