R32 Gtr Speed Wobbles, And 4wd Question

[Sico04]

i have an R32 gtr...pretty stock, trust front pipes, hks exhaust and 17X9 work cr emothions

i have noticed that when my car hits around 110-120km an hour the steering wheel wobbles around heaps its really shitting me, i have had my wheels balanced and aligned......what else can it be? could it possibly be the front drive shafts? i have noticed when i am in reverse it feels like there is a little slack some where from when i put my foot down and i hear a little clunk, as in there is like movement in a uni joint or some thing......then it moves....

also some times ill hammer round a corner the back will slide out, front wheels come in and then when i begin to drive normal again the 4wd light will come on and stay on and the Torque split guage will sit on 10%..........then i turn the car off on agin and its gone and may not do it agin for a week or more........???

thanks

Tried getting your wheels balanced by another place? if you still have steering wheel shake after having the alignment/balance you should be able to take it back and ask them these questions.... they are teh experts

Dont see how it could be your front drive shaft - it shouldn't be moving if your cruising on 110-120, there should be no front drive.

Check your attesa fluid - should be a plastic cup filler in the boot for it. Maybe its low...

My speedo wobles too and I've got an R32 GTR speedo drive too.

Anyone know the cause of this?

Greg: what are you talking about? when you say your 'speedo' wobbles? think you may be talking about something different.

i was talking bout my steering wheel wobbles.........

very annoying

weird

Well with the speedo wobbles, thats usually just your speedo unit (may have been tampered with? thats why its not smooth).

Steering wheel shakes, i would suggest you either have a problem with your wheels or tyres? Get another balance/alignment done.

just pulled a front wheel off checked the offset, i konw gtr's are ment to have +40 my cr emotions are +17 could that be the problem, also there is a little bit of movement with my front drive shafts, and the actual disk rotor???

i had the same problem. a wheel balance didnt help. i was told that the front rims are buckled and needs re-rolling. apparently the previous owner must of went over a gutter pretty hard. this may set you back about $150 per wheel to fix. depends though..

[Sico04]

at first i thaught that too but.....when i had the wheels balanced we could see that all the rims were True

so that eliminates that

what bout the offset? its +17 should that make a difference to drivability
