Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

[PMK]

It sucks, to have a machine, that doesn't work properly, I would (after reading this complete thread) go with the option PMK suggested, Look for a bad hub, it isn't that far fetched.
Easy to check, Remove the wheel, set up a cardboard box, next to the hub, and while holding a ruler, slowly spin the hub, if you see any movement in the hub/ brake rotor, that would be the culprit.

Might be even something stupid, as the wheel not seated correctly, If you change tires from left to right, just to test...

The method of checking the hub / disc you mentioned is somewhat difficult to do in a simple accurate way. The reason being is that the brake disc is not part of the hub, like on old cars. This requires any checking to be done at the hubs small diameter, after removing the brake caliper and brake disc.
By spinning and watching the wheel it could indicate a concern to investigate further, which could then be checking at the hub.

Great suggestion though.

Seems to me that topic-starter has tried everything else, What I don't hear is how the other spyder rode, with his wheels on, could also be a slightly warped wheel...
We are guessing to the problem, we need to rule out everything,

If you go back and read the detailed list from the OP in post #6, he stated his front wheel assemblies did not induce issues on the other Spyder.

The OP has done a pretty good job of eliminating possibilities. But it seems he's no closer to a cure. That's what is tough about this one.

Maybe he needs a sticker...

Ron, I offered up some methodical items to check and help eliminate as needed possible concerns. Entirely his choice, how or if he decides the info shared could help. My opinion is he is close and will be resolving the issue in short time.

We all try to help and that's the beauty of Spyderlover.com. It's just that some things are more difficult to accurately check than others. Especially, if you have no experience in a particular area or part configuration. It can be a daunting task, even for the experienced. Spyderlovers is a great place to find help. But it can only go so far. I hope the solution turns up soon for the OP.

Update. I have an appt to get the front tires replaced for the 3rd time since March...but, this time with a different brand if I can find a size which will fit and is in stock...the stock sized tires are 165/55R15 and are impossible to find. I am also going to have them lower the belt tension from this high 242lbs to 175lbs to start with and I can adjust the rest myself if the ride isn't better...I have one more idea to try after that and it is trying a stock or another brand of windshield instead of this tall Madstad...I'd prefer to borrow one for about 20 minutes, but I don't have the stock windshield. It was part of the new purchase. The Madstad catches a lot more wind and bounces, but it could be the tires making it bounce and catch the wind in a negative manner. I'll update later once if I can find tires...if I can't, then I'll have to just wait. Thanks all.

Got new non-Kenda tires...did not help. I now have 2 sets of new tires. So, the last thing I can think of is to have any dealer adjust the belt tension lower as suggested by several others...which makes no sense. Why would loosening the belt help? The following is the entire update of where I am at now with

I use 160 lbs. ( measured with rear tire on the ground ) and have no noticeable Vibes ..... The size of the tire ( with-in reason ) is not an issue. Many, many folks her ( me included ) are NOT using the stock size and have NO issues ..... As you have mentioned above - many KENDA tires are defective compared with almost every other Auto type tire...... good luck , Mike :thumbup:
