Steering wheel shakes at 60mph+

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

Any ideas? hit a curb not long ago

suspension or something?

I thought it was my steelies, cus there was a dent in them - but now i got alloys

cheers :-)

Could be tracking, wheels might need balancing, uneven tyre wear if the loys were second hand

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

yeah ill get that done next sat.. see what happens :)

wheels balancing mate get them done first as they only cost about 4 quid a corner sometimes not even that, if it still does it then get the tracking done

[Kenny_Boi]

yeh sounds like either wheel balancing or tracking we get a few cars in my work with that prob and its normally found to be down to one of those probs :)

[S34MER]

im gonna gamble and say its the wheel balancing! does it stop shaking when you speed up to about 80mph?

[SAM33R]

cosidering you hit a kerb, i can only think it being tracking

does the car pull to one side when you dont hold the wheel?

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

it does pull a bit yeah, to the left (hit it on left, glad didnt have alloys on then lmao) and i havent even gone over 70mph to see if it stops at 80 lol..

but im gonna get it tracking + wheel balance soon, specially cus i had my alloys fitted

cheers

mine does this, btw i have a westie, but mine only does it about 65+.....really annoying.

lee.

yeah get your alloys balanced first thing and make sure you get it tracked or the tyres wear down big time

my front passenger is illegal now due to dodgy tracking

9/10 its the balancing or the tracking, get them both done. its cheap enough.

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

how much would it cost for all 4 balanced + tracked ?

Places like kwikfit?

thanks, jack

[dingle]

i wouldn't go to kwik fit one of the dearest places i know but shouldn't cost u any more than £40 from a decent garage

[welsh_rich]

When i bought my sax the garage who i bought it off had put two new tyres on the front without balancing them!! So on the way back on the motorway the steering wheel was shaking. Bit pissed off tbh.

I went to kwikfit...didn't cost much at all! Fine now. :)

[SAM33R]

mate of mine at tyre place does my tracking for a tenner

balancing for a tenner too lol

If you're alloys were originally balanced, it's unlikely to be that. More than likely be tracking, especially if you hit a kerb recently. Get that checked first.
