It occurs to me that this might well be caused by having an incorrect wheel 
at your RR. Take the hubcaps off the 2 rears and lay a 18" straightedge 
across the ridge in the center disk where the hubcap fit. Slide the 
straightedge out until it hits the rim and note where it hits. Compare the 2 
sides.  

A straightedge will hit the rim of a type 3 wheel out where the balancing 
weights go. It will hit quite a bit farther in on a beetle wheel. A LOT of type 3 
wheels have been replaced over the years, and most often the replacement 
they find is a beetle wheel.
