dreaded wheel wobble

Featured Replies

wouldn't normally post about this as most of us will know its wheel balancing.

 

However when driving at 60+ mph the wheels wobble quite badly.

 

now here's the problem. I took the car today to a garage I use all the time to get wheels balanced.

 

I witnessed them pull off a ton of unwanted weights on the one wheel and it balanced to zero with no weights. the other wheels were all stripped and weights added back on but not much at all. 

 

so with this in mind and knowing the wheels are balanced to zero im at a bit of a loss.

 

I checked centre bore fitment as the guy did say he thinks it might need spigot rings but the wheels are off the audi tt v6 and are the same centre bore. so not 100% on that.

 

guy I bought car off said its had new lower arm bushes or something didn't get an accurate description.

 

anyone able to throw some ideas at me?

 

 

 

Buckled wheels?

As above, or corrosion/crap on the mating faces?

 

How old are the tyres?

 

Swap front wheels to back is easiest thing to try first ;)

wheels seemed fine on the balancer.

 

will try swapping them around tomorrow. sods law that im doing a 300 mile round trip now with a mobile vibrator lol.

 

what about lower arm bushes?

  • Author

can anyone else find out or know if the audi tt v6 had a bigger centre bore than normal? most sites are saying they are the same as all tt's and the fabia.

 

 

just want to eliminate spigot rings as they are a cheap fix.
