Story so far...........

 

Took the car to Jeff at Zedworld who did a great job on putting in a new prop shaft which took away that annyoing rumble under the seat.

 

He also found a loose steering joint which he cured and suggested the discs which had been skimmed hadn't been on the inside rim.

 

The vibration through the steering wheel improved but was still there.

 

As suggested i changed the discs and pads and hey preston no vibration whatsoever......i was also running in the discs very slowly.

 

Last weekend i took off one wheel to sand down some minor kerb damage and took out the car again to find some steering wheel judder had returned????????????????

 

This is no where near as bad as it was but is still there now......

 

Any bright ideas as i'm now really loosing my patience!!!!!

 

 

Cheers

Do you have aftermarket alloy wheels that use a spigot to centralise the wheel on the hub?

Did you machine or hand tighten the wheels?

Have the spigot and hand torque tightened them...

hey mate you havent knocked a balance weight off a wheel by accident while you were sanding them down have you?

No that was my first thought and i had them balanced today.......just had to add 5g on the wheel i sanded.

 

It seems a bit odd how it would suddenly start to judder again though......

I know this may sound silly, but is the wheel seated down on the spigot properly. I would be tempted to take the wheel off again and refit.

Thought about that one also....

 

I spoke to a garage today who said it may be worth taking off the disc checking everythings clean then turn it to the next nut, put it on then tighten everything up again....

 

Going off the idea of buying new pads.....not really sure this will solve the problem.....
