Do the brake calipers still have wheel weights on them or has the problem been resolved ?

nards444 · 05-27-2009, 07:53 AM

what are wheel weights? is it the weights that clip on the outside of the rim? IF so I have seen them or noticed them on the rim. I would think they would be on the inside.

A couple of people have said theirs don't have them so hopefully its a permanent fix now.

I have posted in other threads but my SS, VIN 106861, delivered 5/22/09 did not have weights on the brembos, front or rear. I don't mean to brag because I know what it is like to be waiting, as I did for 7 months, but this car, in one word, is Awesome!

Mine is VIN 4510 and it has the weights.

Cars were delivered with wheel weights on the brake calipers to lessen vibriation , it is some kind of design flaw...

So after a certian VIN # the problem was fixed ?

My Vin is #4952 and I have the weights on my brakes.
