Re: Hub RINGs needed!!!



Do your brake disk have the retaining screw fitted?  If you have had to 
drill the head off the screw in the past and there's a little stump of it 
left, it's pretty easy to accidentally turn the disk so the stump isn't 
locating in the hole and the disk doesn't sit straight.  Result is bad 
vibration like you describe.  Your wheels shouldn't need to be hub-centric 
assuming that the wheel bolts match the seats in the wheel and you screw all 
the bolts in before tightening any of them them down.
