all tires checked for balance and belts everything bang on. i was thinking shocks maybe, my mechanic is baffled by this the whole front end is in very good shape he tells me he was thinking shocks as well maybe the springs are taking all the weight he thinks...??

It sounds like a seperated or unbalanced tire or bent wheel to me but shouldn't have anything to do with shocks or springs. I'd have another shop look at wheels and tires.

Were those Crappy Tire made in china rotors? A few years ago we got some new rotors for the daughter's car and soon found out they were warped...brand new! Crappy Tire wanted to turn them for free. Huh?...no, you can replace them for free. I always buy premium rotors now.
