Anyone know what a retaining clip is.

 

only thing that I can think of is those little clips that hold the brake on while they assemble the jeep. I have never heard of them causing balance issues tho?

 

There is only one clip on a lug on each brake, they are supposed to be there right? That little thing can cause my shake?

 

that is what I was talking about. they put them on there when they are putting the jeep together. If you have a lug centric wheel the the wheel could me against it. could be. if the wheel touched that washer then your tire place would have removed them tho. It wont hurt anything to pop them off. It only takes a minute to pop off a wheel, remove the retainer, replace the wheel and torque. I doubt that is your problem tho.

 

I just googled this problem, it appears the retainer clip can cause vibration. What the hell, I will try it. It would be nice if this is the problem.

 

The AEV wheels are hubcentric. I guess theoretically it could cause a vibration, because though miniscual, there is an uneven about of weight.

 

Go ahead and get them re-balanced it wouldnt hurt to check , my buddy had his wheels balanced , wobbled like hell down the road , had them rechecked and we assume one of the sticky weights must have not been stuck properly because it was way out.

 

I will rip those puppies off and let you all know what happens.
