The shop I was using in Hackettstown has that machine and I have gotten lots of wheels balanced there but no more. It depends on WHO is running the machining and placing the weights as to how well the job gets done. It was always an "okay" balance at 60mph but traveling a little faster brings out the lack of attention.

I have also found a shudder from front axles that were worn. This showed up in very slight bends of the highway around 80 and would come and go. The other item is excecessive play in the tie rods or rack. The free play in the steering wheel, car not running and steering wheel unlocked should not exceed 5/8" movement at the OD of the wheel. The SVX has a very tight steering system.
