Bad vibration through steering wheel

[ollyc98]

At about 70MPH my steering wheel starts shaking really badly, is this down to tracking? or is it sommat worse? How much does it cost to get tracking sorted these days? And will I have to get it done again if I lower the car?
Thanks

Most likely your tracking, which needs to be evened out to cure that abrupt shaking. Its a normal thing on old cars and I would imagine you'd pay 20-30 GBP. That's how much it had cost on my mother's Hyundai.

it,s wheel balance olly, you could try the rear wheels on instead, and the tracking will alter slightly when you lower it
what mods you got planned btw ?

Thanks, I'll put my rims off my K10 on it, they're balanced.

I can't do anything to my car this year, insurance is still too high, I have a 3 point harness that I've declared, I'm gunna drop it 45mm, fit a strut brace and maybe some of those round rear lights. I'm getting a consult cable and software through soon so I can alter timing etc.

One or more of the weights might have flown off. Hit a pot hole etc. It's happened to loads of people

same here lol

i usually jack one corner up and run it up to 50mph to see which one is out of balance, then balance it up on a spare r/hub (no expense spared lol )

 

[Optispart]

lol

 

[ollyc98]

It's fixed now, just need to sort out the fact that it's pulling to the left now

 

[jamie604]

u can get your wheels balanced for a 10er at the local garage lol

well that could indicate that ur brake could be warped or needing replaced

 

[ollyc98]

Not under braking, all the time, think it's tracking related

 

[mihtymicra]

itl be balace issues

 

[Optispart]

so was it solved by putting the balanced wheels on?

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah it's fine now
