Bad Vibrations

(1/8) > >>

Phil Mcavity:
I now have a problem.

Cars all finished, wheels all done. Been down the motorway today and found out something major is wrong.
I am now getting bad cabin vibration under acceleration, when i ease off the gas it cruises fine, but as soon as you hit the gas hard, it shakes bad ,seems to be from 60mph onwards. Not noticable around town trotting around.

I did buy an alloy from a well known member on here that was refurbed if people remember, now what im thinking would a badly buckled alloy prior to being seen by me, could possibly give me this problem.

i get no shaking under braking or wheel wobble at a steady speed , just under accelation.

Need to get this sorted before nxt weekend :sad:

cheers for any pointers you can give me on this.

Steve

Had the same problem after i had my wheels done and put them back on the car....solved by having wheels balanced

Phil Mcavity:
Under acceleration its bad, but when i hold the cars speed its smooth as, and the same under braking, wheels smooth and doesnt wiggle in the hand if you know what i mean.

SteveP:
^^ Based on that it doesn't sound like the wheel balancing.

Have you recheck your wheel nuts are properly tightened ???

Steve, just to clarify it doesnt wiggle in the hand under acceleration either?

I'd expect to hear a knocking if wheel nuts were loose.
