Title: Wheel and shell vibration.
Post by: UnCl3RoRy on 11 June 2015, 22:03: I've got some slight wheel and shell vibrations after having coilovers fitted (Jom), a tt arb and spacers (5mm) at the front. Now at motorway speeds the steering wheel vibrates and I can also feel it through the seat. Anybody tell me why? I was fine before I fitted these parts.

Cheers

Vibration dependent on speed?

You wheels are now further out, which can amplify any imbalance, particularly at higher speed.

Post by: UnCl3RoRy on 12 June 2015, 17:51: Haven't balanced the wheels since I bought the car nearly 2 years ago.

I bought the spacers from eBay.

Post by: Technane on 13 June 2015, 14:05: get the wheels balanced and get the tracking done, normally the main cause of vibration
