I’m wondering, and hoping, that a very abrupt asphalt patch I hit at about 35 miles an hour yesterday in my TR2 may have knocked a wheel weight off a tire. Is this likely? The car has been running pretty smooth up to 75 mph, and had done so earlier in the day. After the asphalt patch incident, I had a noticeable shake and shimmy begin at about 55 mph on a sweeping freeway on/off ramp which continued above that speed. I just ordered a cone set for proper balancing at my local tire shop. Of course they all say they can balance wire wheels, but my limited experience has been more miss than hit. I’m also going to crawl under the car as soon as my son gets his Volvo 240 wagon out of the garage. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for that might not be obvious that could cause the sudden shimmy and shake? Thanks
