steering wheel shake

[spoon]

i have an issue with my glanza the steering wheel shakes whilst driving not too much but noticeable had the wheels balanced and its still going on any opinions?

[teta]

can be so many things like loose nut,uneven tire pressure worn bushes

[burt]

Take it back and get the balance checked.possible the weight weren't attached properly.also check the tyres aren't out of shape

[mikey4410]

wheels arent balanced.

Took my tyre place three attempts to balance the wheels correctly when they fitted mine!

[satyrs]

in what condition are your cv joints? is the shake noticable while excelerating?

if so, it could be those gone....

grtz,

I find its usually warped disc brakes

[ROTABOOST]

Will be wheel balance, won't be brake discs unless it only shakes when you brake

Haha have you ever had warped disc, from that comment I guess not

[ROTABOOST]

Warped discs will only show up when the brakes are applied. It's common sense. Yes I have had many warped discs, I own a garage and change many discs a week due to warping, all of which are micrometer measured. Explain to me how a warped disc can cause a wobble when freewheeling?? Unless the disc is distorted on the hub mating face (never happens!) then it's theoretically possible LOL

[morgey]

I've had a warped disc cause a vibration through the wheel, hots discs in puddles dont react very well lol, was so bad i couldn't turn the wheel a full turn by hand!

I cant see how measuring a disc with a micrometer would show anything as the warp wouldnt cause the disc to get thicker or thinner, unless you mean use a DTI to check for flatness?

[morgey]

Anyway its unlikely to be your discs but if you want to check it just jack the front of the car up and spin each wheel

[ROTABOOST]

Yes DTI morgey

thanks for the replies guys, its not the wheel balancing or the brakes being warped. its whilst driving i can feel it in the steering wheel its like the wheels are wobbling but i think satyrs could be right because i can here the cv joints but not all the time now and then.

i've sent it to get fixed so i should find out what the real deal is with it soon i'll keep you posted thanks again.

Can be loads of things, ive found it in the past to be the actual tyres warped across the tread. Also driveshaft balancers worn. Most common is wheel weights fallen off or not balanced right. Warped discs can cause a constant judder but normally only whilst braking unless they are really bad.
