wobbling/twitching at all speeds

[mr sheep]

i just lowered my car again is was -40mm now its -60mm , i now have a case of the wobbles even at low speeds (30mph) its quite twitchy as well now.

is it just a case of alignment or do i need camber adjustments?

never had any wobble on the other springs untill reaching about a ton on the m1.

anyone with similar problems that have been solved please tell me how

thanks guys.

it feelslike through the steering wheel that im driving on a pebbed/stoned driveway.

i take it u dont have a clue either liam? how can it be fine -40mm but terrible @-60mm , confused. come on techys??

 

[Liam_Dynamique]

mine dont wobble as such... just wont go in a straight line.

Wheel balancing???

Not kerbed (buckled) a wheel?

Mines lowered more than that and i got a bit of steering pull where the tracking was out but that was it.

no i just changed the springs this morning, the wheels were balanced last month.

the steering wheel just shakes from side to side.

 

[RobFenn]

Well i got a vibration in my wheel, a sort of rumbly feel, result, new driveshaft, i dont remember it shaking from side to side. Get it booked in i guess.

yep tis a rumbly feel like the wheel is fighting to stay straight.

wheres best to go an ats round the corner or somewhere that deals with mods to cars?

 

[mr sheep]

been out again and the steering actually feels a bit lighter than normal mmm strange.

 

[mr sheep]

any other ideas?? having the trackin done today.

Tracking/Alignment mate i reckon!

If your on std. dampers that could be the reason too, they handle crap at - 60mm!!!But if your camber,tracking is incorrect this would be the first to get done........

 

[mr sheep]

right its sorted, turned out to be a 1.5 mm piece of aluminium off the spacers in the wheel.

when the wheel had been put back on after the springs had been done it had been chipped off and got caught between the wheel and the hub.

therefore the wheel wasnt sitting on the hub correctly

thank god no wobble even @ a ton.
