Shaking Steering Wheel

[richard2k84]

My stearing wheel shakes like mad. It seems to stop when going down the motorway, but when drving around town or under 50mph, it shakes from left to right.
I have had the car trakced and balanced but it has not helped at all.

Anyone have any idea's

Cheers

buckled wheel, knackered shock, driveshaft damaged

 

[richard2k84]

Lovely. Is there anyway i can check if the shock's are knackered or if the driveshaft is damaged.

proper fecked wheel bearing?

another good one.


quite a few other bits and pieces to look at really, it need to be looked at rather than guessing

 

[Stryker]

not takin the piss but are all the wheel bolts done up properly? check the basics first lol

 

[mattjk]

Try swapping the back wheels with the fronts that will tell you if its a buckeld wheel

if we are doing basics then trye pressures too lol.

 

[richard2k84]

Yeah i have checked all the bolts are tight.
I will try swapping the fronts with the back tomorrow, and see what happens, cheer guys

Could also be an unbalanced wheel or one of the weights used to balance them has come off.

mis shapen tyre is my bet...

wont be wheel balancing as thats 50mph plus

 

[richard2k84]

I do know one of them needs replacing, so that could be it. I guess i will know more when i swap the wheels over

 

[mattjk]

if the tryes fucked they should have noticed when they balanced it

 

[ditz]

if the tryes f**ked they should have noticed when they balanced it

no, thats why they are tyre fitters.


black and round? check...

 

[mattjk]

well confused lol, would have thought when they spin it for inbalance it would picked up a fucked tyre? If I'm wrong then excuse me

 

[powey]

make sure all wheel studs present too

 

[ditz]

well confused lol, would have thought when they spin it for inbalance it would picked up a f**ked tyre? If I'm wrong then excuse me

nope,, an out of shape tyre wont affect where the weight is on the wheel (the balance)

they should visually see it yeah, but as i said...
