Default I need help ASAP

Alright guys I've only had my ws6 for about 7-8 months now but I'm in a tight spot. I'm actually on vacation in Destin, Fl but on the way down from Ohio I started to get a bad vibration in the front end. I'm just looking for a good shop to take it to. Since I'm on vacation I have to tools or idk just look at it myself. Hopefully someone can help me out and like I said ASAP. I don't want to lose my job back home because I'm to nervous to take it to some joe schmo. Thanks

That's what I was thinking but I just balance the things before I headed down. Granted its an old pos machine not a road force one. I just don't want to be half way home and sol on a 700 mile drive

Might have lost a wheel weight or something, especially since you just had it done. Did they use the sticky ones on the inside of the wheel barrel? or the slip on ones on the lip?
