[Lagerlout]

Coz itz lowrd innit

 

[Henry]

s'up?

could be for one or more reasons; not an exhaustive list:
- mismatched tyres/pressures
- wheel/hub imbalance (just refit the wheels/studs in different positions to see if that helps)
- tracking/steering gear problem
- bottom arm bushes
- driveshafts

 

[Rasclart]

PMSL nasty feckers.

As Bender P said tracking or Wheels. One might be buckled init? Brap Brap blooooooooood

FLOL D O Double G

 

[eggy790]

lol 10mm at bk onli
I reckon its wheel hub inbalance
Or driveshaft as that popped out of the gearbox when i hit the kerb

 

[eggy790]

anyone know how much am looking for driveshafts?

 

[eggy790]

bump

 

[Henry]

driveshafts is the worst case scenario - try some of the free/cheap stuff first to see if that helps.

i'd start by having have a go at taking the wheels off and putting them back on in a different position to see if that does anything. check they're true whilst you've got them off - if you've clouted the kerb, you may well have buckled one.

 

[Mark One]

If the wheels have the internal weights that are stuck on then it could be that. They sometimes fall off it the wet/washing the car.
By internal weights i mean the ones that are supposed to look nice not the ones that sit on the outer rim clamped between wheel and tyre

 

[SBV116]

Get the wheels balanced again! and make sure there not full of s**t!

 

[christian rea]

for shafts you are looking anytghing between 50-100 depends where you go an who you no

 

[Alan]

Prob cat D..

 

[eggy790]

i didnt hit the kerb with these wheels..

and ill check the weights, i know what you mean, probs that...

 

[eggy790]

hmm.. got wheels balanced at a mates and passenger side one was 10 grams out.. will find out later tonight when i go on motorway

 

[eggy790]

well isnt the balancing, the steering has stopped shaking left and right but when you hold steering at them speeds 70mph.. u can feel the steering wheel vibrating.. is that driveshaft?

 

[eggy790]

ok put standard wheels on and it was fine.. so its the wheels yet the not buckled!

i looked at them though and they seem to have a plastic spacer inside the hole which goes onto the front hub..

coould this be the cause of it i.e gets hot and flexes?

would a metal spacer cure it?

i didnt know it had spacer which came with it..

what do u lot think.. is it the spacer?

 

[Mells]

Braaap!

Are your discs warped? Have you done any work on the car recently?

 

[MT AUDIO]

you mean spigot ring or spacer?have you got the correct size spigot rings?cause a lot of vibration

 

[eggy790]

its a spigot ring on front? its basically that my i duno whaty u call it , where wheel sits on is too small so the ring fits inside the alloy making the hole smaller and fit..? if u get me

 

[eggy790]

p.s spigot ring i got came witht he wheel and in it.. fits fine, didnt even know it was there until today

 

[Cl4rkie1990]

I think what your on about is a spigot ring which is needed for alloy wheels..sorry cba to read the whole thread so if these have been said i dunno lol..

Maybe your steering rack is on its way out if the wheel shakes at high speeds..or wheels need balancing again? could also be tracking.

Sorry cba to read the whole thread so if these have been said i dunno lol..

 

[eggy790]

lol tracking is fine
bal;ancing is fine, as had gthem re done and no shake on standard wheels and steering rack is fine, was checked at rs tunign in leeds, after i got one end done..

so basiclaly spigot ring will be causing the vibration.. would a metal one work any better than the plastic one? as it seems to fit fine..?

 

[eggy790]

anyone?

 

[edde]

You have plastic spigot rings err thats the problem most liky

 

[eggy790]

ok, well reblanced and still same problem, so just swapped front and back wheels around and its gone? :S

does that mean i had a slight buckle in the 2 front wheels ? balancing machine didnt pick it up..

glad its not vibrating no more

 

[ditz]

jack both front wheels up stick it on stands and put it in first (engine ilding) and watch the tyres
bet there is a high spot on one
