Violent Front Wheel Shake between 38 - 50 mph

<< < (4/5) > >>

Re-Discovery:

--- Quote from: "rollazuki" ---are they the type of wheels where the outer bead isnt a bead, just 2 clamping plates?
If so, Im not really surprised, let em down, undo em and reseat em.
Theyre not construction and use legal are they?? Probably for some reason or other :roll:
--- End quote ---


They are Matt Lee's Factory made beadlocks, not a bolt or weld on addition therefore they have a proper outer bead and tyre seat!?!?! :D

Apart from the C&U Regs, I know of no reason why they should be illegal as they are alot safer than normal wheels as you are unlikely to lose a tyre in the event of a puncture at speed!?!?!? :shock:

All mechanical beadlocking devices are against C&U including the ones used by the Police and the Army. In fact the only ones that aren't are the Staun pneumatic ones!?!?! :?

rollazuki:
How does the bead lock work, can it nip down the tyre and pull it out of true??

I had the same problem on my disco around 5omph, I would get a a violent wheel wobble, that was hard to hold onto.

Checked the track rods, and found one of them siezed, replaced both track rods and the problem has gone.

Hope this helps

Worn Swivel pins will cause this.

Re-Discovery:
Just thought I would post an update on what has been done to try and resolve the issue so far; :)
[*]Fitted brand new top and bottom bearings, shims, gaskets and top and bottom pins to both Swivel Housings!?!?!
[*]Fitted brand new track rod and drag links ends!?!?!
[*]Just had all four wheels aligned, and tracking done, camber and castor all okay!?!?!
[*]No play in any of the Prop UJ’s front or back!?!?!
[*]All Suspension bushes appear to be fine!?!?!
[/list]
The only thing that I haven’t yell checked as far as I can tell is the wheel balancing and the reason for that is that my 35’s would not fit on the tyre balancing machine at the tyre place that did my wheel alignment today.?!?!?!?[/b]  :cry:
