Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 18y 5m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 25/02/09 04:24 AM Posted 25/02/09 04:24 AM (edited) Could just be bad wheel alignment or balance?Many people on here, including me have been over 200km/h (in appropriate places eg. Strip, NT, "private roads") in their XR without this problem.Sounds like you need a fix, not an upgrade. Edited 25/02/09 04:25 AM by Ghosti

A little bit of wieght in the tray help too. There is a noticable difference in my ute hard cover on/off. I don't know if this i because of the wieght of the cover or because of the big flat panel for the air to rush over.
