Steering wheel shaking like mad

[Audin_RT]

With 15" alloys on my clio the steering wheel (and every other part of the interior) shakes like mad when i reach 80. Is this normal??? Im still on standard suspension

thatll be a balance thats fallen off a wheel.

 

[Audin_RT]

pardon? whats that mean? is it bad? my brother put the wheels on without spacers so... i know i need some new wheel bearings, a track rod end, and possibily new driveshafts, would this be causing it?

 

[jon_r]

could be but to me just sounds like a balance has fallen off of a wheel, or the wheels havent been balanced properly. Go to your local tyre fitter and get them to check. Shouldnt cost more than a tenner.

i didnt have it tracked up or owt after putting the wheels on cos of the track rod end didnt seem like much point. i need to get it fixed but duno wot needs doing exactly. need new wheel bearings but duno which wheel, track rod end o/s front, driveshaft n possibly cv joints but dont know which ones or where? aaaah i hate it when cars go wrong i have no idea what im doing
