Steering Vibration after 120km/h

[mick87]

hi, i hv recently changed from my standard 15inch rims to 17inch with center cone, before this driving at high speed without any steering vibration. After changing, there's minor vibration at the speed after 120km/h..should I go for another balancing or any other solution for this.

 

[aHLengChai]

on wheel balancing perhaps.

 

[boi]

check the balancing 1st...normally if u change rim/tyre at famous shop they will do balancing cin cai only...

 

[DanzEterna]

balancing & allignment bro...tell them to check yr camber setting too..

 

[mick87]

ok will do, will start with balancing and allignment first.

I face the same problem like you too. but mine problem comes after few months i change my rim from 17 to 16inch.
Not only steering vibrate...even gas & brek pedal also vibrate...
I have go for aligment and balancing at separate shop...still same.

I suspect might be the engine mounting (should be the 2 on crossmember) kong alreadi as i m driving auto transmission car. When i engage the gear to D and press brake..the whole car vibrate quite badly..

Any other possibility?

i dont think mine will have this prob, cos my car is only over 1 year old. Why do u change from 17 to 16?

i think thats is the reason otherwise if u say during braking only got shake then that was related to rotor...
if u said pedal involve that one sure mounting...

Tires getting expensive..Furthermore..found japan rim at 16inch...
17inch taiwan rim a bit too heavy for my auto car.

nothing wrong with the braking...but i dont know whether mounting will causes steering vibrate at 100km/h

Finally found the problem last Saturday.

Send to workshop 1, they say no problem with mounting and driveshaft... Ask me to go another shop for aligment / balancing / Rotate tires.

Send to tyres shop 2, when he open up my wheel, they found out that the centre cone was too small for my current rim. Changes 4 aluminium cones problem solved.

Damage: RM100 - 4cones + RM20 - Balancing + RM25 - Alignment.
Result: Satisfied

 

[richnet]

yea, i was about to say it's the center cone that it giving you vibration.
actually, you can just ignore the center cone, in order you screw your rims real tight using the compressor gun... but if can put cone, it's better le...

to have better performance, do on-wheel alignments...

 

[mick87]

mine also settled about a month ago, they did on wheel balancing...rectify until the problem solved., now driving high speed 140-150 dun have much noticeable vibration

bro mind to share which workshop did u visit ?
I am having the same problems and would like to check it out.

On wheeling balancing did not help? It should, because when on wheel and spinning you can see whether the wheels are centralized or not. High speed unbalance is normally due to not centralized of the wheel to the hub.

 

[skyline2m]

1) wheel balancing
2) allignment
3) arm bush

Bro,
To whom if afta u been thru on wheel balancing,alignment or chamber changing,n is d same results coming up,try check on d drive shaft..
