Wheel Shake,

[pumba1906]

I got myself a set of 17's a couple of months ago, when i forst got them the steering wheel had a shake to it so i got them balanced and it seemed ok, she was then off the road for a couple of months whilst i swapped the engine over and now i cant get rid of steering wheel shake i have had the wheels balanced at two different garages, but i still have a slight shake mainly between 60-65ish but i do feel it sometimes at lower speeds, what else could it be apart from wheel balancing????????

all theories greatly appreciated!!!

my problem fixed now so must have been inferior rubber?!? only thing that springs to mind m8

i am getting to the stage where i think it may be the tyres/wheels at fault rather than anything else.

[earthwormjimtatu]

wheels themselves r least likely to be at fault....not sure how u would go bout checkin the structural stability of the low pro's fitted to the hoops but if ur prob is the same as one i had u only gonna know when the tyre shreds itself @ bout 70(honest officer!!) on dual carriage way

this comes up so often.. try searching for older links..

tyres worn out of round, (balance isnt everything)
buckled alloys
non oem alloys offcentre without spiggot rings
driveshaft weights incorrectly balanced
loose balljoints etc etc etc etc.. plenty of suggestions on the older threads if you can find them [img]/smile.gif[/img]
