What I have done in the past: Take the service writer for a ride. Make a mental note of where the car had the issue last as you drive towards the dealer. Take the service writer back to that same spot and duplicate the problem for him. 99% of all the dealers have a routine "path" that they follow on all test drives. This "path" may or may not duplicate your problem.

Oh.. ask them to TAPE all the weights on. It is is the ONLY way to gurantee they wont come off. It is very easy for a "grunt/tech" to bang the inside of the wheel on the caliper as they try to mount up your 30+lb 19inch wheel/tire combo thus possibly loosening the weight they just installed (or did a brake inspection).. The possibilities are limitless on how easy it is to knock a weight off.
