Jennyw Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Has anyone experienced steering wheel shake at around 70 mph.Wheels have been aligned and balanced ,new tyres have been put on. although she has the wrong sized wheels on. Bought the car 3 months ago so am a new member. Jennyw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlasumm Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 i would go back to where you had the wheels balanced and have them check them one of the wheels could have thrown one of the weights off if the rim hadnt been cleaned properly before it was stuck on just tell them you getting wheel vibration at 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_jnz Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Are they after market wheels? Could need spigot rings, be buckled or need re balancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstraw Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 My wheel has been shaking forever! Even had new tyres and swapped rims and still no difference. Might be my brake disks tho! They are expensive to replace tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickie Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Had this for ages on my old SS-1 did the works balance track discs after all that it was an inner CV that was gone , might be worth a check it got worse under braking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nthnmunky Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wheels can (and very often do) buckle. I'd get them checked over to make sure one isn't slightly oval. It would appear you've done the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Suspension components, too. There's an endless list of things that might cause wobble, though if it's at a specific speed it's often a balance issue. Take them to a different place and get them re-balanced? You often get a surprise when they go on a different machine. Any vibration under moderate to hard braking? Worth getting the undercarriage checked all round by someone who knows what they're doing (often a back street garage rather than Kwik Fit.

Gstraw Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I don't want to make another thread about this since I think this one is exactly what I'm after..:but also don't want to hijack it either! My car is doing the same: 1. Steering wheel shake and wheel alignment has been done 2. Turns out front wheel was buckeled so moved it to the back with 2 perfectly fine wheels and tyres at the front: still shaking 3. Shaking is alot worse under braking 4. Suspension is been checked on a high level by lee So what it may be is that the new BBK I've put on could have warped disks (which is shit because they are like £300 to replace. Lee also said the disks look well over worn and need replaced so I'm not happy about being sold old disks!) Or the Disks may not be sitting true and there could be a tiny bit of fouling behind them which will cause them to wobble a bit when rotating Or the bottom of suspension may be a bit bent Hope this also helps your problem mate since it coul be one of the above I've mentioned Finally how do I check the inner cv to see if it needs replaced? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryK Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Having a buckled on the back will still make it feel like its wobbling bud in my experience anyway! I thought it was one of my fronts, swapped it out with another alloy and it felt like it was on rails! Can check your CV joint by sticking her on full lock and moving forward, if you get a knocking noise its normally time for a replacement Edited March 8, 2012 by RoryK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
