high speed vibrting....
« on: 16 July 2009, 18:04 »
my cars started vibrating at 80mph+ the steering wheel for example , i recently fitted some mk4 montreal alloys & had them balanced , so i`m unsure of what it could be... any ideas? is this common?  cheers...

Something must be out of balance or loose.

on standard gti 8v wheels, its annoying. I'm hoping the wheels just want balancing.

You say the wheels have been balanced so they cant be buckled or it would have showed up. But do go and check that the wheel nuts are tight.

so its more likely to be wheel balancing then, buckled wheel, dodgy suspension, or loose wheels, and maybe tyre pressure?...

i'll check on these tomorrow if it stops bluddy raining.

thanks guys.
