steering wheel juddering at mway speeds - thoughts please

[R20 CWH]

replaced the two front tyres today and now at 70 the steering wheel judders like crazy!!

not entirely sure what the hells up.

im suspecting the suspension bushes might be it?
im running coileys which are setup and were fine before the tyres were changed today.

totally pee'd off as theres meant to be a meet tomorrow and its early on so cant even get it fixed before going if it involves the tyre balancing.

any thoughts??

Balancing/tracking.

if they've just changed the tyres, bound to be bad balancing.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

sounds like they balanced them wrong. or not at all.. take it back...

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm

just really pee'd off with that as now i cant go on the drive as it rattles like crazy.

GRRRRRRRR

[.GAZ.]

any excuse lol

 

[MikeyK18]

yea its def balancing, just make sure ur wheel alignments ok 2

 

[ChrisD172]

take it back to where you had them done, does sound like they havent been balanced right rather than tracking

 

[kully]

could be a tracking/balancing problem .

Have you checked the wheels studs are tight? It's also possible that something is caught between the hub facing and wheel preventing the wheel from sitting flush.

What they said!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

could be a tracking/balancing problem .

if its happened since changing the tires and he hasn't hit any curbs its unlikely to be tracking.

How many miles has your 172 done?

I had the same thing happen to my Mk2 172, at 70 the car would judder, and not feel that safe, i thought it was just the balancing/tracking, but it turned out that both front driveshafts were shot.

50k chief.

ill fire up to them and see what the story is.

My car done eactly the same, still like it - had the balancing and tracking check at 3 garages (one in Scotland)

Everything is set up right, but I still have to fight with the wheel most times at 70+

 

[Djw John]

buckled wheels possibly oggy

 

[Oggy997]

Any easy way to tell?

Getting turinis shortly anyway (runs!)

 

[Djw John]

Put the fronts on the back and so long as the rears are straight it should help.

And remember kids, JUST SAY NO TO TURINIS!!!

my steering and whole car shackes about 75-80. does this means its tracking and balancing then?

 

[Oggy997]

Probably because its only a 1.2, mine done it alot after 70
