Bad shakes problem

[race_snooze]

between 125 to 170 (didnt go faster then that) last night the ****ing car would shake badly from the front, as I have never ever had any probs at high speeds, (above 80)before some thing is baddly wrong what do you guys think.

Me sees post 'Bad shakes'. Me thinks 'stop drinking'. Maybe you've lost a wheel weight, or worse a tyre is starting to delaminate. Was it up/down / sideways / vibration etc can you describe it?

[leech_]

wheel allignment also have you replaced these rotors you said were to thin ???

[race_snooze]

mostly side to side but smoothed out at about 175, I have just had the disks machianed on the front so I am think they may be causing wobble, but at 0 to 100 its fine. It still handles well at low speed. NO break noise either, it was shaking so bad it was rattleing shit that doesnt ever rattle.

Wheel balancing is usually the problem with this.

I have not had wheel allignment yet, but will soon. Its all started after I took the rims off and the disks off. There are machiened rotors but they said that it was fine before they did the job then after told me that they are stuffed.

Of course you were on a track night, right

[mjfawke]

I'f you've got a steering wheel wobble, then you've most likely lost a weight. It could also be that it was previously balanced on the car to deal with a hub/rotor/tyre balance issue, and removing/refitting the wheel has put it out of balance.

[race_snooze]

cool thanks will get re blanced asap.

Ofcourse on a track night what do you take me for. lol.

[SkyGTRline]

Front wheel being off balance usually occurs around the 80km mark, and rear wheels off balance shakes around the 100km mark.

If that helps

Yep I have this same problem at the moment. Not as bad as whatyou are describing but I will be taking it in for an alignment and a check of all the weights... If your problem is something different, post it up i'd be interested to know.

[SkyGTRline]

could also be Tail shaft... as you have mentioned you have had you clutch done... tail shaft could be put off... some ar picky, and have to go a certain way on.. if you put them back on, 90deg diff then they tend to shake... yup yup.

Might sound stupid but are your wheels tight ?

[SkyGTRline]

Lol!!!!!!!

[Terminal]

Hehe, don't laugh. i had that happen to me once, almost ended up sleeping in a ditch. just remember to tighten your nuts when you lower the car to the ground again... wheel nuts that is

[race_snooze]

wheels tight but will check them again shortly, no weights off wheels that i can see, me thinks the disks are slightly warpped after bad machening (wish I could spell) and only having a prob at high speed. will keep ppl posted as to what it may be.

[tridentt150v]

Also front shockies can cause vibes. What about tyre pressure, have you checked it???

A half flat front tends to pull.

But I'd be going for wheel balance.

[race_snooze]

tyres are fine, shocks should be fine. It has something to do with weights or disks, will find out soon enough.

[Scooby]

if it was warped dics you'd know when you used the brakes.

[oscar32]

Hey hey

Anything shakes as you approach warp speed. I suggest you just relax and enjoy the ride
