My m931a2 shakes like crazy on the highway. I see there are fixes for the m35a3 truck. I haven't found anything about the larger 1400 tires on the a2. Anyone have any suggestions ?

Believe it or not, the wheel might be out of balance. A good friend on this list, GIJOECZAR, talked to me about this a little while back. He had a situation that seemed like flat spots on the tires that never smoothed out. He took the tires to a shop that shaved the uneven spots off of the tires and it fixed the problem.

Rims clean and straight?

When did this start?

Does it do it at all speeds?

Did you try different air pressures?

As has been posted before putting fluid in a M939A2 that still has a working CTIS is just asking for trouble. The system will puke sooner or later with fluid going in and out to the wheel valves etc. Adding things to the inside of the wheel is not the answer for an A2. It may work for an A1 as seen in the vid. I am trying to come up with a system of wheel counter balances for the rear wheels. Much like is done for the M35A3s. I still have not found the correct combination. Need to remove a rear wheel and modify an older bubble balancer and see what I need to add where to get the wheel sort of in balance.
