Steering Vibration

[vidospace]

All,

I have a R32 (with engine dramas but thats besides the point). I have had new wheels and tyres fitted and balanced and an allignment done, but I am still getting bad vibration through the steering at about 60 and above. The tyre place thinks it is either a hub or drive shaft issue. Can anyone suggest what is happening here? Anyone seen this before on any other R32s? Its a GTR btw.

hey

i had the same thing and i found my tyre had a massive bubble on the tread, wasnt noticable till you took it off and looked down the tread pattern, apparently caused by when the tyre is low on air and you hit a bump it can fracture the radials and move them or something. maybe have a very close inspection before you go buy drive shafts ect

i dont know much bout gtr's and there drive shaft life spand so just try look into everything before you go spending alot of money

hope you get it sorted its frustrating i know !!!!!!

i'd be checking all the bushes on the front suspension arms for movement as well.

Check your tyres aren't 'out of round'. That just happened to me. Jack up each corner, and spin the wheel with your hand. If you can see the leading edge of any of the tyres wobbling in and out compared to where was before you span it, then you've got out of round tyres.

yeah id be cheaking for moovement in the front end, mainly balljoints, then id look to see if the wheels have locators on them, make sure the wheels has been tightend down true to the hub/mounting face.
