Wheels judder under 90mph+ acceleration
« on: December 26, 2009, 05:03:16 pm »
Just had 2 new front tyres on....

I'm guessing they need tracking cause when flooring it from 90mph onwards... the wheels shake...

Only problem is... with it being lowered... some garages can't do it.... does anyone know of someone in West Yorkshire to get them tracked ?

Thanks,
Rich

just go get the wheels balanced again at a good tyre shop

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

As Mat has said, it is the balancing that needs re-doing mate,

As already mentioned above Rich.

However if you do want the tracking doing then consider a guy called Simon. Cheap and very good. His garage is on Potternewton Lane, which is off Harrogate road. LS7.

or, check they've tightened up all the bolts properly.

Make sure they are balanced properly on a decent machine that has dynamic balancing.

It took me 3 goes to get a set properly balanced a few years ago

Costco on Hunslet Road do a great job if you are a member there.
