I had the tracking sorted and all my tyre pressures checked last week, but I still have a very slight wobble on the steering wheel

What causes this and how do i fix it?

It's on the bimmer in my sig

Any help appreciated

 

sticky caliper got it on my saph at the moment

 

did you get the wheels balanced? and like dave said clean up the sliders ect

 

really? is that the only thing it could be? how is ya saff now, what happened with the police after your accident?

 

i didn't get the wheels balanced, spose I better do that first, I wanna check the brakes anyway so will check the calipers

 

well its what caused it on mine. felt like the wheels were gonna fall off

As for the saph, its tucked up at the moment. Needs a new bonnet, wing, headlights, rad and a few nuts and bolts but other than that its fine thank god!! luckily it was only really cosmetic! Havent heard from the law yet... but i expect i will probably just before xmas... just what i need lol!

 

cant be many things... in my experience its allways been caused by the wheels tho (most common)... either out of balance, or one of them bent

get em balanced (take it somewhere GOOD!)

i had new tyres fitted on the front of mine recently and they musta balanced em wrong (even tho they told me they were ok) caused vibrations over the 100mph mark... got em re-balanced by SCC and now they're sweet as a nut, stable all the way thru 5th gear

 

glad to hear it's ok, good luck with it all fella

 

thanks jim, will be getting the wheels done asap

anti roll bar bushes

steering track rod ends

bottom ball joints

 

thanks spiky, looks like I'll have to get the lot checked, gonna start with the wheels tho

 

spikys suggestions are all gooduns

just hope its the wheels out of balance tho, thats easy to sort/diagnose... lol

 

Can Sticky caliper really cause the wobble? I have it in tight right hand corners and 100mph plus in a straight line

New bushes, tracking and balancing ok. Could it be a sticky caliper?

 

yep! it wears the pads unevenly and believe me the wheels dont half wobble!!! lol

 

what and mine wasnt?

 

no

 

fight fight fight

i had a stuck caliper on my old 4x4 coming back from pod once, wobbled like a MOFO and dived dramatically to the left under braking...

had me scared sh*tless!

i also remember touching the brake disc after to see how hot it was

i still have the scar

 

shut it short stuff! and dont forget my indicators

 

Sounds like you guys have solved a problem i've benn pondering for quite a while.

Looks like getting the wire brush out tomorrow.....

 

short stuff????

quality T-shirts they cola's ones?

 

pmsl @ that pic



It could also be a buckled wheel as that usually carries the same symptons as not been balanced correctly ....

 

mine isn't

 

nor is mine. FYI Co is no longer in the T Shirt business
