Lukeprusher 13 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Car shakes at high speed just want to check with other wheels to see if the problem is to do with wheels that are on it atm. Can pay just to borrow for hour. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1661 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Ive fixed many E34 shimmies by having best wheels on front ie swap fronts and back around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukeprusher 13 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Steering wheel and whole car, from 90km plus, Ive swapped front to back, wheel alignment and wheel balanced. 18inch.. 8inch wide with 235 40 18 tyres. First i thought was the bearings in front wheel but wasnt and then thought it would be thrust arm bushes but replaced them and nothing changed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Checked for bad steering box/rack and tie end rods? Are the wheels decent OEM ones with the correct hub (ie, not fitted with rings)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cab 148 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Either your new wheels didnt come with hubcentric rings, orr it could be shocks of all things. I had a steering rattle above 100kmh with crap shocks, then changed them and it went away. Edited May 29, 2013 by Cab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Hey man, Check if the centre bore rings are still there. I have a feeling they were lost during last wheel balance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Just rock some hub centric insulation tape. Then check the thrust arm bushings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
