Buckled wheel

Featured Replies

Hi all.

Can anybody recommend a good wheel repair company near the Sheffield area please?

I was driving home in the snow (thanks, council, for not gritting the roads.....despite snow being forecast) from work on Friday and the front end locked up as i was entering a left hand corner at low speed.  My offside front wheel hit the kerb square on and bottomed the spring out and now despite it driving fine, i get a resonant hum on most road surfaces at anything above 45mph.  I'm thinking the wheel is buckled slightly.  No other symptoms apart from the humming.  Want to try and nip it in the bud before any strains are placed on wheel bearing or CV joint.

AP Tyres at Parkgate might be worth ringing. :thumbup:

You've beaten me to it!  AP Tyres have been recommended to me as well previously.  I've not used them personally but have seen their work on MX5 Race Cars

Cool.  Thanks for your replies guys.  

I've got a full sized spare so will swap it over to see if this helps at all and then drop the offending one in at AP then.

Cheers
