Steering Wheel shaking above 80kms

Its not balancing i have checked it.

Above 80kms the wheel shakes 100kms is about the worst 120km its fine again.

Could this be bushes or something in the rack.

can go from 120 to 200km/h and there is a slight shake but can live with that

With my sp racers i had them do the balance 3 times before it was o k. But it still shakes on a not so good road surface.

What is that? Please explain.

I'm having the same problem. Just sent the front two rims to wheel works & going to put a new set of tyres up front aswell.

You having this problem for long?

Mine only started after my accident.

rratadmin23 Aug 2010, 16:03

mine has had this since i got the car in 2006, just as i am using the car everyday now and not as a toy it bugs me.

TTHEO 3K - ZN23 Aug 2010, 16:14

oh ok. Have you tryed high speed balancing?

When I took my car for a cor test they said I must replace my rackends.
Will that be the cause?

Non-hubcentric spacers can be a huge contributor....do you have non-hubcentric spacers?

rratadmin24 Aug 2010, 10:09

no spacers. Std disks and calipers.

Checked the wheel bearings for movement?

One other thing to check is for brake disk warping

rratadmin24 Aug 2010, 10:36

cars brakes fine, but will ckeck the disks also

PP3g4susmoderator24 Aug 2010, 10:48

I have the same issue, but under braking it becomes realy bad!

But i presume its the disks

ddjtreble24 Aug 2010, 10:49

PP3g4susmoderator24 Aug 2010, 10:50
