Steering Vibrate, on wheel balanced already..

[arrowhead]

to all the sifu's, pls help me diagnose my problem.

i changed to a new set of wheels and right after that, i noticed my steering vibrates when i hit 120km. below that, its fine.

brought back to do "on-wheel" balancing, it didnt vibrate 1 bit. so the mechanic said, possible due to the rear, and then he went to balance my rear.

tested it on the hway, still vibrate @ about 120km/h.

problem is, sometimes it starts vibrating @ 100km/h - 120km/h, then it'll stop when i go over. the i slowed down, then brought it back up to 100km/h, no vibration.

wth? sekejap ada sekejap takda...

i've singled out these few potential probs, maybe u guys can add in so i can check

1. tire makan 1 side?
2. wheel/hub bearing?
3. c/v joint needs more grease?
4. lsd problem?



thanks

I am having the same problem! but i guess it's because of the imperfect rims... can i know if your rims are new rims?

I had the same problem too a few months ago. Problem solved when I change my steering rack and the front tyres (botak already).

Rims are new. Not used.

Steering rack? My tuner said my steering lately got alot free play, possibly on the verge of dying.. Aiyoo. So many problems coming at the same time.

Thanks. Will get them checked.

 

[g4i8y0t]

arrowhead, any update..?

happens to me too, when go to the shop, it turns out the OEM rim bengkok. . .

most likely due to masuk lubang. . .
Rim was 17". forgot the tyre profile. . .
don't want to change rim yet, so had to use spare tyre, the worst case bengkok become spare tyre and the least bengkok one to the rear. . .

probably need to look for 16" rims la after this. . .

 

[arrowhead]

im quite sure my rims are fine, just got new set. anyway, will update when i find out.. else, i might just leave it as i dont drive it often..

 

[AD_EG]

your rims replica or ori rims ?

 

[tt48]

Drive shaft in good condition?

 

[arrowhead]

replica rims ! =P

now everyone knows.. damn. hahaha

uneven front tyres bro (tayar tak rata)...got a lot of threads but uneven. try swap front to rear, rear to front. or better still. change front tyres.

normally happens because of bent rims, but if rims have been repaired, then should be the uneven tyres. Even after u did the on wheel balancing, the problem will still be there.

either change to used, good condition front tyres (low buget) or change to new front tyres (got budget).

good luck.

 

[arrowhead]

yup. i solely suspect is my tires. anyhow, ive learnt to live with that ... drive below the vibration point.. which is 100km/h.. haha

 

[AD_EG]

maybe the rim has a defect? try to rotate and see if that solves anything.
