teta Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 can be so many things like loose nut,uneven tire pressure worn bushes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burt Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Take it back and get the balance checked.possible the weight weren't attached properly.also check the tyres aren't out of shape Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 wheels arent balanced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Took my tyre place three attempts to balance the wheels correctly when they fitted mine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
satyrs Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 in what condition are your cv joints? is the shake noticable while excelerating? if so, it could be those gone.... grtz, Wouter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I find its usually warped disc brakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Will be wheel balance, won't be brake discs unless it only shakes when you brake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Will be wheel balance, won't be brake discs unless it only shakes when you brakeHaha have you ever had warped disc, from that comment I guess not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes DTI morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spoon Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 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.

daniel_g Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 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.
