  1. Yep well I've had them balanced in the last week or so, also of it was balance it would most likely occur all the time at the same speed, this is just random shuddering Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
  2. Thanks for your reply mate, yea wheels are on tight, the shudder comes and goes, it pretty much didnt shudder the whole trip (2.5 hours) but on the way back it was horrible, When I take off from the lights and turned I can here a creeking coming from the suspension, im guessing this could be the bushes.
  3. Hi guys bit of a necro as no ones posted in a while, Ive been getting a shudder which appears even when I dont brake, but when the shudder occurs and I DO brake it feel horrible (like the wheels are gona come off!) I have recently had the balancing and alignment done (as I thought it could have been balance) My rotors have groves in them but nothing major, since it happens even without braking im guessing it could be the bushes? Is it expensive to have it looked at? I wont be attempting it myself :D
  4. OK OK 245's it is... jebus :D was only asking as my mate has the similar car with the other sized wheels and he said they were fine
  5. Hi guys would there be to much problems going from 245s down to 225s? My mate has 225s on his XR8, I have brand new 245s on my front and the ones at the back are getting bald and a tad noisey (have been rotated from the front after an alignment) Im looking at some 225s (mainly cause they are a tad cheaper) but wondering if they should go on the front or the back? or steer clear of them all together? I have these wheels.....
  6. Thanks Brenno, yep the tires at the back are old, the ones at the front are new :D im sure they are fighting each other, will get some new ones for the back shortly
  7. Loving the Kms guys, keeps me in high spirits, this is the first non japper ive owned, its a 2005 BA2 XR6-T its got 133,000 on the clock, only gona use it to travel in between citys to visit my family I really wanted comfort/reliability and performance.
  8. Not sure what surface consists of here in New Zealand but yea, its the first time ive owned a car with 18s on it also, so that prob makes a difference also. Whineeeeeeeeee, ugh, just wanted a nice quiet car to carry my family in :D
  9. Thanks for your reply, yea ive got 18s on so even worse!
  10. Thanks, im pretty sure its just noisy tires, its only doing on certain tarmac, doesnt do it on the smooth stuff noise doesnt change with accelerator off/on, it dissapears when going to smooth tarseal. farkin anoying on long trips....
  11. Is it an expensive job getting it fixed, would probably try new oil first yea?
  12. I have a 2005 BA falcon 130,000 kms approx, every now and then theres a whining/whiring noise, at first I thought it was the tires on some particular tarmac, but could it be the diff? how loud is a diff whine? and how can you tell if its the diff? It doesnt do it all the time and I was in getting a wheel balance today, and the guy there told me that one of my rear tires is misshapen (im in he market for 2 new rear tires) so this made me think it could be the tire on certain grades of tarmac? any info would be sweet? cheers team.

    Thanks guys, really impressed with the car so far, its the first non - Japanese car ive owned *embarrased* cars done 130,000 and still looks new, has a brand new gearbox in it (its auto), dont want to beef it up as I can really afford to fix it if it dumps on me :| Kinda looking for somewhere to find out what to look for in terms thing crapping out further down the track, im kinda green to all this stuff. /edit forgot to mention... im a Kiwi *dodges multiple dirt clods*
