why,s it shaking??

[dazleeds]

put the 16s on a while ago and my steering wheel started shaking at all speeds so just went and got them balanced up but it hasnt changed a thing

what else can cause this as im planning to go buy some bushes etc tmoro so whats best to change first to cure the wobble on the wheels and steering??????????????

cheers Daz leeds

[stevo]

sounds silly but check the wheelnuts are tight, ive been there!

[e30_Turbo]

Check the wheels are round too , my vibrations were caused by two sqaurer than they should have been wheels. No matter how many weights they tried did not want to run true. Other than that check there is no play in the suspension, steering and brake areas, a fooked ball joint on mine gave me some weird steering feedback.
HTH, Mark.

[dazleeds]

watched em balance em up and theres quite a few weights gone on but they did look ok on the balencer

i thort of the wheel nuts too have checked em a couple of times
might try swappin em front to back and see what theyre like then worth a try

think im gonna put 2bottom arms new on tmora as they dnt look great so maybe that will help??? if not have to keep changing bits till its solved more cash to find

cheers lads any more advice from anyone welcome Daz leeds

are the wheel mating faces clean, are the spigots ok.

The wheel could be as straight as you like but if it's not sitting squarely on the hub it will wobble like a good un.

also, if the wheela are aftermarket and the correct spigots haven't been used the wheel can possibly run out of round, but the garage that balanced the wheels should have spotted that.

[chu346]

Probably won't be, but check the steering rubber universal joint.

Other than that swap the front and rear wheels over and see if its still doing it.

[dazleeds]

wheels are in pic jl and bmw stamped fit nice but hub size is bigger than mine also havent checked mating faces will in morn get wire brush on em and will try the swap over too gonna have a good look at everything in the morn thinks its time to start sorting as ride is crap at moment
cheers lads will see what i find tmoro Daz

if the center bore is bigger and you havent got spiggots then that is the problem
try and get metal ones though as the plastic ones and deform eay

[dazleeds]

what you mean by spiggots?
had similar wheels b4 no probs then?Daz

[Andy_magic]

Spigots are either plastic or metal rings (metal ones better) that fit over the centre of the hub, they take up the space between the hub and the wheels mounting flange if you get what I mean.

It makes the wheel sit centrally on the hub rather than moving up and down if you look at the wheel from the side.

[dazleeds]

right i get ya

no aint got them just a big gap between hub and wheel centre
where can i get them?? and how much they cost??

cheers Daz

[Andy_magic]

I would try an aftermarket wheel specialist. Or failing that, Halfords

Basically anywhere that sells alloy wheels should have them or be able to get them.

I can't remember how much they are, I can't see it being very much, probably Ԛ£20 or something for a set

[Richy325iTouring]

cheers Daz

depends on wheel make and they around a tenna or so

any car parts place that sells wheels should be able to get them for you.

this will most prob be your shaking more than anything else to be honest

[dazleeds]

cheers richy /andy n anyone else who replied
richy is that a tenna each?? or set??

Daz

[Richy325iTouring]

last time i priced it was a set but that was a while ago
and does depend on where you go for them
best bet is to shop around
shouldnt be much more
