balencing? tracking?

[jonroyski]

[luke_16v]

hmmm.....tried changing the suspension???
mine snatches to either side, i need new suspension,

[Phantom]

most calibras suffer from worn suspension bushes on the lower suspension arms, quite easy to change and can be bought for around £45 for the pair, failing that it could be warped disks, worn track rod ends and in severe cases the steering rack

at 75mph it tends to stop

Do you have aftermarket alloys ?

could be spiggot rings.

[jonroyski]

wot are spiggot rings robbie

[RobbieV]

The spigot is the bit in the centre of the hub that you rest the inside centre of the wheel on whilst aligning the studs and screwing back the wheel nuts. On generic after market wheels, the spigot hole inside the wheels is a lot bigger than the spigot on the car. So what you need to do in this case is fit spigot locating rings. These are just rings of aluminium or hard plastic, that fit over the spigot on your car and then have a proper fit with the spigot hole on the wheel. If you don't have the spigot taking all the weight of the car, chances are you'll break one or more studs when you drive the car hard or have to brake hard. Remember the wheel nuts are simply there to hold the wheel on, NOT support the weight of the car. Also, as there is nothing to centre the wheel, you'll notice the wheels go in and out of balance because as you drive around, they'll move around on the hub.

check balancing again especially if they are stick on weights on the wheels other than that bottom arms and or worn track rod ends or bottom ball joints if ball joins just change bottom arms it easier
