VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2015 Hi all, I have an annoying vibration at 70 ish mph on my rado. As with most things I like to think Logic will help me find the cause, but the usual suspects are not helping me. I have had the wheels balanced.... Twice. Car tracked. Checked brakes. What else could it be guys? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted May 3, 2015 I would have guessed balancing mate. Is it only at 70 or at any other speed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2015 Well while on my private runway it was worse at 80 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2015 Lower speeds are less noticeable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2015 I have new rubber ready to go on so they will obviously be re done then mate. Fingers crossed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilfuzzer 1 Posted May 3, 2015 has the motor had the handbrake on for all the time away? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted May 3, 2015 Worn drive shaft inner joints are a possibility Chris, make sure the securing bolts are tight too, soon... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 3, 2015 My wheels were balanced and still did it. I took it to a local wheel specialist who can check if a wheel is running true or not and it turned out all 4 were egg shaped despite only feeling the vibration when over taking on the motorway. Got them trued and no problems now even when overtaking a bit eagerly. I don't know why I think this but I'm sure that wheels are only balanced at 60 mph so more than that and the fault becomes more pronounced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr lobitos 0 Posted May 4, 2015 are they aftermarket wheels, if so have they got spigot rings fitted ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted May 4, 2015 As sean said one of my wheels was buckled and caused wheel wobble at speed. Got one which ran true but still did it after being balanced by kwick fit. Took it to national car tyres and they balanced them all and has been perfect since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted May 4, 2015 Worn shocks or top mounts maybe. Is the vibration only at speed, and not whilst braking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
