Wheel Vibrations

[RK2707]

Has anyone had wheel balance problems yet, 17 or 18 inch wheels ? I drove out of the dealer with wheel wobble and a vibration through the floor and got it fixed a week later with a wheel balance. One of the rear wheels was, get this, out 100 grams ! The wheel shake has returned yet again If anyone has had this prob let me know what the dealer has told you or has done to fix it. I'm interested to hear different opinions before it goes back to be repaired.

hi rob

I have two xr ba utes both with 18 inch wheels,we had wheel balance issues and also front alignment issues. the wheels were balanced twice and both times the shudder came back, was really annoying at about 90kph, I had the tyres replaced at 10 000klm :(, I it is a completely different car to drive, absolutely

no balance issues (I have done 4000 klm on them) but the biggest improvement is the car does not follow the ruts in the road at all, so much better now!

some how I dont think the problem will ever be really fixed with the rubber that's on the car.

I also read about another guy having to get all heres tyres replaced, the dealer paid for his.

I got a tailshaft vibration, similar feel to what you are experiencing but a different problem.

Could be diet?

Yeah....less of the complex carbo hydrates and take some activated charcol tablets, will fix that little problem :D

The balance on mine was pretty shocking from the dealer. Once again makes it hard to justify "pre delivery inspection" doesnt it.

Had it done in the first week, and it wasnt too bad. Now with 18000Km it needs to be done again. Will take it to the local tyre shop on Friday. Between the tyres and the shuddering brakes my poor old thing is a shakey old place to be at the moment

Good to see the "real" Ken back, not this wishy washy imposter we've been putting up with for the last week or so! :lol:

mine had a problem at about 5000kms and the dealer replaced all four 17in tyres. I believe that the tyres had flat spots on them. I'm not sure that I like these tyres, although they grip really well. I preffered the dunlop fm901 I had on my auxr8.

utes can vibrate something shocking

a anti-axle-tramp clamp kit can help with the harmonic vibrations at speed .... works for me..

stay away form spicy or chilli food...generally takes care of tailshaft vibration
