Shaking All Over

vertuas 22 years ago

Hi everyone

I got a problem with my '93 440 1.6 Li

When driving along and getting to a speed of around 75 mph (not on public roads) The steering starts to shake.

Wheel balance has been checked Front lower bushes seem ok but just by eyesight test Brake discs (rotors) and pads seem ok, pads are new but not solved problem

Anyone any other ideas before i spend the big bucks and get the bottom wichbones done?

Thanks all

Regards

have you checked the tire pressure?

Check to see if tyres are out of round. Most likely the balance is out. Get it balanced off the studs for a more accurate balance. There have been many occasion when I have returned a "balanced" car to be redone.

If the steering shakes but not the car then it will be a front end problem. If it's the whole car then the rear. It maybe a bush issue but not more usual for it to be the above. What are your alignment figures like ? Helpful to get a printed alignment sheet every time. How are your tires wearing ? What are you lane changes like ? Does it pull faster in one direction than the other ? It can be a front shock. I have pulled the odd driver over to explain to them that their front wheel is bouncing up and down (Actually off the road) at 100+ Kph. Sometime they even comment that they noticed some vibration.......

Check back in the archives and then get your rear wheels balanced and have their toe-in checked.

Cheers, Peter.
