Steering Wheel Wobble, Tyre Balancing
Guardian.:
YES NOT BAD, GARY WILL SORT IT AT NENE THEY ARENEARISH YOU, AND HE DEALS WITH THIS STUFF DAY IN DAY OUT.
Range Rover Blues:
Yes at £5 a wheel they aren't making much money, you'll be there over an hour I reckon. It's worth going somewhere that knows LRs or at least big 4x4 if you are having this sort of problem. There are a cople fo places locally I won't use anymore becasue they talk such bull excrement all the time. Apparently you can't do the tracking onm a LR because it's got a steering box for one :^o
Mark_Solesbury:
I poped in to a local tyre place tonight as it was on the way home from work and the wobble was starting to annoy me...
Nice bloke - was interested in land rover, and why it was covered in clay!
Took wheels off, removed all weights, tried to fit first one to machine - would it go on.... No.
It would not sit true on the machine, and started to quite silly things like 900 grams of weight to add!
Anyway, he admitted defeat, didnt charge me anything although i expected something as he spent an hour messing about..
Anyway, with no weights added to the wheels they are a thousand times better then they were before.. I can still feel them not right, but it will be ok till i can get to Nene Valley for a look.
Im fairly pleased.
Guardian.:
what does 'doesnt sit true' mean, did it not sit central on the spindle, or is the rim buckles / eitherway you aint gonna balance like that.
Mark_Solesbury:
It would not fit on their machine properly and sat wonky on the central spindle. All the packers and things were not man enough to hold the weight.
They spin fine when bolted to the hub of the 90, so the rims are fine.
Ill get it over to Nene and see what he can do.
