Iv got something similar, and its kind of anoying...

Only does it on motorway really...

My disks are NOT warped, my wheels are not buckled, my tires have been balanced, and my tracking has been done, yet it still wobbles at high speeds quick annoyingly...

Fairly harshly too, cant seem to find what is causing it...

Vibration at speed is usually cause by a balance issue.

I would try having the wheels and tyres (All 4) balanced somewhere else where they can set the machine to only put 1 weight on the inside.

Could be also anything else that spins is also out of balance, driveshafts, hubs etc

Had a disco in once with vibration at speed, someone had undersealed and the underseal was sitting on one side of the propshaft. Scrapped it off and all was good

 

Trackrod ends that are worn and suspension joints that are worn will also cause wobbling. So check those, particularly because you have hit a pothole and caused such damage. Then if repairs are required claim from the council concerned for the damage repairs to tyre wheel and suspension. State where the pothole is and photograph it with a rule indicating its depth in the photo.

 

Both trackrod ends were replaced not long ago but it could be suspention joints... will get these checked out, thanks.

 

Hitting the pot holes could have made some of the weights they stick on to balance the wheel fall off. Have a look see if any are missing

 

Well, finally got it all checked over and everything seems ok but still the wheel wobble, seems to do it at around 45mph - 60mph if higher than 60mph it seems ok?
Could anything to do with the calipers cause this? Im looking at changing them for ZR 160 calipers and pads anyway.

Ive jacked the car up and no play in both front wheels at all, car still pulls to the left aswell... i thought about a sticking caliper? Gonna play around changing wheels around at the weekend just to rule them out. If that dosn't fix anything then im going to get the wheels rebalanced.

Any other suggestions at all?

 

I would say the wheels are out of balance, I've just had the Astra done and now it vibrates and didn't before.....they are bloody useless at balancing tyres, will be going back today and tell them to do it properly, grease monkeys!
Could be the disc has warped due to a sticking calliper.

 

Thanks for the info, when i jacked the car up i spun the wheels and they spun freely so no contact with the brakes at all?

I think it may well be the balancing of the wheels at the front as i had 1 changed, i reckon the lad didn't balance it properly as its only happened since then....

 

Ok, thanks to all who advised the wheels being re-balanced as this seems to be the problem. I have put the spare wheel on tonight and low and behold... the shaking has gone!!

So obviously something is wrong with both wheels on the nearside of the car!! Not sure what the chances are of that?!! Either both require re-balancing or both are buckled, well i know the back one is lol

Going to get the buckled one swapped and get the other one balanced.

 

I've got some thing similar.. a low speed wobble at about 28 MPH.. the strange this is that I don't get any wobble when I go faster.. ?

 

Some tire places will do a free balance check so its worth finding one and tacking them up on there offer.

 

Thanks, another thing i have noticed and a completely different topic lol, now i have put my spare wheel on (15" i think) my ABS light pops up on the dash after say 20 mins driving..?? Goes off when engine is switched off then pops up again 20 mins later?

I do have 282 discs and calipers and it just fits underneath that 15" steely, must be mm's to spare if that makes any difference? its only been doing it since i put the steely on.

Any ideas?

 

The abs computer is getting confused because of the slightly different diameter of the spare

 

I've just bought a zr 120 drives really well, but when she's warmed up and your at traffic lights the steering wheel vibrates, when driving its fine. Literally if you stop it vibrates, any ideas what it could be?

 

Sounds like either an engine mount,or the engines not running right.Does the gear knob shake too?
