Wobble at 60mph

[Legacey]

Just had my tracking done and now when I get between 50mph and 60mph the steering wheel wobbles like god knows what!

Does this have anything to do with the tracking or could it be something else?

It's most likely that a wheel weight has fallen off. Hopefully a rebalance should sort it:)

[Legacey]

Thanks. I've had no end of trouble with the front of the car. Got the tracking done mostly to set the steering wheel straight and know the wobble has started. Nothing but trouble!

Thought I had learned all the joys when I had my first one! But no!

pfft dont think its just calibra's!

had the wheels balanced on my range rover 3 times and its still not 100% vibration free.. had to get some special weights in the end as it kept loosing the clip on ones

definatly wheel balance

i get a wobble like that when i brake when coming down from high speed. whats that?

[Sean C]

If you only get wobble under braking it could be a warped disc.

Mine does it too, machanic says its the disc slightly warped although mine improved a little bit by changing the wheel bearing

oh right thought ot mite be sumit like that.
i keep getting a tapping sound from my front left wheel. thought it was the brake but turns out the wheel spacer isnt centred proply and its rubing on my caliper.
took me ages to figure out what it was

ya wheel balancing weight is off mine did it between 60 - 70

As far as I know there are two types of balancing machine. Most garage use basic balancing machine which can only balance the tyre in low speed. The other one, brand called 'HUNTER' machine does hi speed balancing. Most vibration problems related to wheel balancing can be sorted out through those ' HUNTER' machine.
