Wheel balance and alignment is critical on Maximas

Just a flag based on experience. Even though I have owned several Maximas, all of which were very sensitive to wheel balance and alignment, I keep forgetting until I have the experience again. (Aging is hell). Rotated my tires recently and the Max just seemed nervous; very busy and didn't seem to want to track straight. Took it to the alignment man on Friday, and sure enough - too much toe and all four (original factory) balances were out. They actually took less weight. What a difference, both just running down the road as well as during braking and cornering. Just something to file away for reference, and so you all can remind me once in a while, as I'm not getting any younger.
