Hi all,

Possibly very common problem with steering wheel shakes but I just can not deal with that. I went twice to a local garage to have the balance on wheels done. The second time is happened that each wheel got 15g more of weights. I went on M4 and still shakes, a bit less than before but still. Come back and gess what they say... we can not do anything else... I am going to Wheels in Motion this afternoon to have it checked again but was wondering if this is not balance on wheels that causes it what else could it be??? ps. I am going to do the tracking as well...

Any comments are really appreciated.

Cheers,

disc's warped? but if it's got slightly better since having the wheels balanced I would doubt it.

I did the discs a few weeks ago at a garage that specializes in sorting them. Indeed there was an issue but during braking. No the problem is gone if I push the brake on.

Tyre out of round? It's always been rare, and got rarer since makers started leaving the roundness test marks on new tyres, but that's why it's confusing.

Also possibly driveshaft out of balance, wheel bearing braking up but those usually squeal first, sealant "gloop" inside tyre(s)...

Likely balancing or toe is out.

Protyre do a 4 wheel alignment for £25.

I went to Wheels in Motion yesterday. One of the front wheels was 15g out of balance, both rear ones as well (that does not make any difference). I was told that the steering wheel should not shake at 75-80 mph even if the wheel was 15g out of balance but it looks like it helped. I was driving 60-90mph then slowing down than picking up the speed again and did it a few times and all was fine. I shall do another test drive tomorrow on M4. Car alignment was spot on. Wheel bearking, ball jonts all fine.

I get back to you tomorrow.
