zed annoying me now!

Post by riano »

got the new tyres it was perfect-got said tyres aligned and the wheel has started to wobble about alot!got them to check they had done alignment correctly and they had-any ideas what this could be?its pretty awful-have drove 360 miles the past two days and the wobbles are just not normal and im pretty sure its from the right front-it feels like its square!

Sounds like you have lost a balance weight off one of the wheels. Take it back in to the get the fronts rebalanced. Should be ok after that.

Did they balance them? does the s/wheel kick side to side? if so see if increasing speed makes any difference, you may be able to drive through the wobble, if so get them to recheck balance :)

Get the wheels balanced properly and your wobble will go away 8-)

I had to get my wheels rebalanced after I got the last set of tyres.

It required 19 grammes of weights on one wheel to correct the imbalance - I guess the weights must of fallen off after the first balance.
