I wonder if anyone has had this same problem?

I took the car in to have new Track rod ends fitted. At the same time I had the HIcas set up. I got the car back and since then it appears to have developed a wobble at slow speeds. Kinda like its got a buckled wheel? It seems to be from the rear end. I took it back to the garage and they examined the car and the bloke said it is most probably an unevenly worn tyre which dips a bit in the middle and this has only now shown up because it is all set up correctly. Now I aint no expert but that seems a bit of an excuse to me? Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved (however) sensible ones would be prefered?

Morning mate...Ciders chilled and ready to go..lol

 

I beleive this can be true vini....Honest :rolleyes:

Ive had it on my old Beemer where I used really soft compound semi slicks and used them for several months then had the tracking done again as my suspension cambers were out and when set correctly had a strange loss of grip and light feeling to the steering with a slight wobble...

Fitted a new set...Hey Presto...all better again :dance:

Have you inspected and measured the tyres Depth in different spots yet?

Put a metal ruler on them and have a good visual inspection as you dont really want to replace any tyres if you dont have to.

 

Although it could be other things...lol :smash:

Not sure about your particuler problem there ...but it is possible for this to happen :(

 

im sure others in the know will be along shortly....

Borrow some spare wheels and try them out?

Maybe on sat' you could follow me steve and see if you can see anything that isnt looking right mate...please? I am sure you would be able to see it coz it feels really strong up to about 15 20 mph then it goes???

The other thing I noticed is that it now also pulls (very slightly) to the right since I got it back? strange but true. :confused:

:eek: :slap: :D

 

lol..no probs vini...

Sounds to me like either :-

Tracking is out

or

The tyre/tyres are worn unevenly

 

just one other thing....

Is youre after market steering wheel fitted dead straight???

As this can cause the tracking centres to fook it up :smash:

Yeah but only for scientific research. :smash:

 

It happened before the steering wheel was fitted mate.

I only put it on last week and The car was wobbling 3 weeks since? I just aint used it much of late.
