AAAAGGHHH HELP QUICK

[mk2 stu]

Taken the scort out for a quick spin with new wheels and got real bad steerin wobble, took the wheels to get balanced and one was 70grams out and the other was 30grams, put em back on thinkin itd sort it but still there!! what else could it be? I've got 5 mm spacers on there but wouldnt have thought theyd do it?

4 wheels ..

 

2 balanced

 

 

what about the other 2?

 

also what wheel nuts are you using, does the wheel locate on the spigot and the nuts just hold it there, or are the nuts now doing the locating too.

 

wrong nuts and the wheel can be off center.

Im relying on the concave nuts to hold it in place? i have no spigot at back as i have wilwood conversion and pain hubs.

 

I only balanced front 2 as it feels front end, was hoping that midland wheels wouldnt have gotten them too far out?

 

The fronts are reliant on the nuts lining them up also, the centre caps are possibly holding the rims slightly off the spacers?

will take off centre caps and try again, worse case i'll have to sling original rims back on

If the center cap is holding the wheel off, as you tighten one nut, you'll pull the wheel to the hub on that side..bit you've got wobblle (run out)

Are the wheel spacers flush againt the hub?

 

When you tighten the wheels, make sure you do then diagonally, and a bit by bit so the wheel centres itselfs properly.
