morning peeps, hope you are well -

 

I have re-shimmed the the front upper arms to repair my front camber issues.... which worked well - which is brilliant.

 

however, the car is now pulling slightly to the left, and is suffering wheel wobble at 55mph+

 

Now, I know the pulling is due to the tracking, which probably needs to be done... but the whobble is usually due to tyre balancing - but I know these are ok as they were balanced only a week ago.

 

anything else that could cause the same symptoms?

Yeah,

you need to get a 4 wheel alignment done to check the new settings and correct the pull to the left - the wobble likely is balancing - I'd recommend trying to get them done while on the car.

 

Where did you get your kit from as I'm after one as well!

I was the git that bought the last one from DTA motorsport... however, you are welcome to have my spare shims (that i dont use) if you want?

Hi!

 

Just a quick note - yes, you need to get the tracking done again. As I explained to you when you bought the kit, it is best to put the shims on whilst the car is having it's tracking and alignment done. This way everything is set properly and you won't end up with the car pulling to one side or wheel wobble (which can also be due to misalignment issues). I suggest you get the alignment and tracking sorted ASAP.

PS - you'd have had the same issues had you put on adjustable camber arms without getting the alignment and tracking done at the same time so it's not the shim kit.

Dan, dont worry fella - i know its not due to your shim kit, i knew that pushing out the arms will affect the tracking - more concerned about the wobble frankly! - any ideas what this , or will tracking likely remedy that too?

Hi mate - apologies if I came over a bit "strong" - didn't mean it. Have had some bad news this morning regarding a court case I'm pursuing so am just a bit short tempered at the moment. :(

 

Because the tracking is out of whack what happens is (besides pulling to one side) that the wheel(s) will start to rub. You won't feel he result of this until you hit a certain speed when it becomes apparent and usually manifests itself as wheel wobble. It's almost like resonance from an exhaust. Under a certain rpm/speed everything is calm but as soon as you hit as specific rpm there is a drone ... Same theory with the tracking vs wheel wobble.

 

My suggestion is that if you have driven the car a fair few miles in this condition to not only get the tracking/alignment done but also get the wheels balanced again as excessive rubbing may have changed the balance.

 

Good luck mate and apologies again.

 

Regards,

no worries dude - just wanted to make sure you were not upset about this post. Am very happy with the item, and came in the post v promplty - why should i be peeved with dta's service? - its brilliant! :)

 

Thanks for the advise - I guess, get the tracking done, and then re-inspect. any change in camber is a huge improvement to what it was anyway!!! - I had a very scientific shim-fit on level ground with a spirit level! - not much more you can do on a BH monday! :)

 

good luck with the case - if you require any positive feedback for your site, or for any case I will be happy to provide. im sure as well as many other happy customers.

Cheers fella - I certainly wasn't upset about your original post! :) Feedback, be it positive or negative, is always a good thing in my opinion. The website will soon go live with a feature which will allow customers to leave their feedback online - should hopefully be useful for new customers

 

All the best,

As I'm doing it all myself (and I'm not a web designer) it is taking far too long. But ... I'm getting somewhere now, the majority of the work is now done and I'm close to integrating the shopping cart and payment system. I am hoping to have it all live a week before the ZClub 30th Anniversary Meet at Billing (July 13-15) and announce it officially at JAE the following weekend.

 

Cheerio!
