39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 Pretty much as title says. Experiencing a shudder at exactly 57k's, both left hand wheels have no balance weights, had wheel alignment and new tyres ® 1500k ago. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 they only need weights if they're out of balance, or they might have hidden them on the inside. Only way to know is have the wheels balanced checked again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 The moment you drive out of the tyre shop and on the slightest bump they will be out of balance again. Have you juddered over anything fairly hard, ie curb, bump, pothole, judderbar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 Yes I had two buckled rims 1 quite bad and the other just dented like it had nailed a kerb. I swapped the real bukled one out for the spare and left the dented one on there, tyre shop said it will be O.k. I suspect it's wheels though, as Peter Beck checked out all the underneath and he couldn't find anything wrong, said it's actually quite good, as I had a clanging sound that ended up being a loose wheel brace in the well, he discovered it sitting in the back. Could it be anything else (the steering shudder). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted November 15, 2010 I think that would be your problem - Screwed wheels. It's easy to see if a wheel is no longer straight. Spin it freely and watch the wobble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks PJ thats what I think too. Had alook at a dead e39 down the road today with roulettes, sitting on rims (under the chassis) and the ones that could spin were buckled as well, they woudn't spin true, might have to buy new.

I haven't checked that the wheels aren't buckled (but will) as I found a bit of play in the r/h front wheel, which may be a loose bearing.....? I suppose a buckled wheel could even cause the bearing to loosen? Hmmmm....I Hope we both find the solution soon as it is most annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
