dohc v6 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 i just got my wheels balanced rotated and aligned. when ever i go over 60 or so the steering wheel likes to shake back and forth just a little and viabrates a lot. is it common for after market 17" wheels to viabrate or is it because i have spacers on them or is it a bad tie rod end.

NOHC_WBody Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Could be the spacers...check & see if the balljoints up front are tight as well. Quote
jeremy Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 they could also be balanced wrong or simply bent rims...if they didn't vibrate when you took it in, I would take them back to the shop and tell them to fix the problem... Quote
dohc v6 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Posted January 5, 2005 i watched the guy there the hole time and he said they are perfectly ok wheels and the balance is perfect. Quote
sonyman87 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 hows your shocks? suspension in good condition? Quote
jeremy Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Easy test.....put your stockers back on....it there is no vibration with them, then the issue IS the rims/tires...either bent or improperly balanced.... Quote
dohc v6 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Posted January 7, 2005 i never put any hub rings on so i am 95 percent sure that is the problem. Quote
HokemBokem Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 My Regal almost does the same thing. When I hit about 60+ I get a little shimmy in the wheel. I heard on here it was normal though Quote
rudefyet Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 my rear brakes cause it on my car Quote
