Steering vibration with MT tyres

<< < (2/4) > >>

LCW11:
ITS A FACT..REMOLD MT'S are a bitch to balance is some cases impossible. its some thing you just have to live with, i THINK that good branded MT's such as BFG and GOODYEAR WRANGLERS are much easyer to blalance so if youve never used remold MT's before you probably wouldn't know this.

hope that helps ....LEE

The wheels/tyres came from nene overland and look like they have been balanced as balancing weights have been fitted to the rims, I will call them and check what they did. Still its snowing heavily now so when I go out to play wont be doing more than 50! Thanks for the pointers given will look into them. I know my bearings are set up OK as just fitted new discs, but track rod ends could be worn and causing the wobble.

hobbit:
You can get a substance to go in the tyres that will balance the wheels when travelling at speed, some sort of beads I believe

When you are at speed, they spread out by centrifugal force and balance the wheels

i have colway mt,s fitted not balanced at all and i dont suffer any vibration or wheel wobble at all at any speed :?

petergalileo:
I know this sounds daft, but you did check the wheel nuts were really nice and tight ?

I changed rear shocks and front discs but neglected to fully tighten the wheels when they were on the floor, I tightened them while off the ground.

I suffered wheel wobble at speed and steering was a little vague but I blamed it on the replacement steering box.  I am glad I rechecked the wheel nuts in the end !
