Could be a stuffed wheel bearing. I'm in the process (quite literally as we speak) of replacing my front ones because of much the same problem.

Did you get the rear wheels alligned too? Remember these cars have four wheel steering...

ok i'll give it a try and keep you posted on results, got to find time...

Thanks for the help

spacers? not too sure, will find out, they are aftermarket wheels

They are new rims, will get back balanced too

Thanks

how long were the tyres unbalanced for?

if the tyres have been run unbalanced for a while they wear in a way that, when rebalanced, they unbalance themselves again

urgh and by unbalanced i meant out of alignment, shouldn't post when tired

I got new tyres yesterday, balanced and aligned, front and back.

after 1 day my steering tremors are back @80km/h, I'm going to change caster and sway bar bushings, cause mine are stuffed and get aligned again and see how that goes.

Take a look if your bushings need to be done.

that should only affect it when you put the brakes on. i had a magna that kept warping the front rotors every few months after getting them machined. they were really really bad. even at 60kmh by the time you had gotten down to 50kmh the vibration would be shocking and by the time you stopped it was ridiculously bad, but it never affected how the car drove when you weren't touching the brakes. ended up getting new rotors and it didn't warp them anymore.

I too am going for the bush route now because I've replaced wheel bearings and alligned/balanced everything so I can only put it down to the other weak link in steering gear; bushes. Either that or the mob who did my alligning/balancing did a shit job.

  • 2 weeks later...

I had to get mine balanced/aligned twice cos the first did indeed do a shit job, so don't take it back to the same place the 2nd time, likely they'll do a crap job still...

The only company that does good aligns seem to be Tyrepower and Beaurepairs from my experience.

I found out that my suspension is stuffed, crappy ones through pedders, new but now pretty much throw away, bad mistake, and all my bushes need changing. So off to fulcrum suspension, where I'll get some tein suspension, shocks etc; put in and replace the bushes with fulcrums polyutherine bushes.post-63012-1272202781_thumb.jpg

But now with the accident today, it's all been put on hold, man whats next.............

:P

Did the suspension contribute to not pulling up in time - out of interest?

Insurance job (even tho' it looks as if you'd be paying Excess)?

Hope the car is all good pretty soon!
