pinto77 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 Hi this may be a dumb question, but you are using the correct wheel nuts for the relevant wheels? thanks martin
skeeter Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 Have you checked the engine and gearbox mounts? These could be resonating at the speeds you describe and transmitting through the steering column? S
katana Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Have you checked the engine and gearbox mounts? These could be resonating at the speeds you describe and transmitting through the steering column? S Not unless they are touching and then you'd feel a 'buzzing' at all revs / speeds.
seaneylad Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Posted April 16, 2015 Me again .. Just wheel wobble no buzzing.Just fitted new green rs2000 track rod ends fit treat and feel better quality than the last ones but the wheel wobble is still there annoying me now as im short on cash, buying my first house as mean ive spent every penny of many savings booo (its a good thing though buying a house haha)right so im abit stuck what to do next, wether to send them bad hubs back for refund and try get another good set to try? recap: so far have checked / fitted; New steering rack new rs2000 tie track rod ends to match capri legs and steering arms (no play once all tight) new roller top mounts capri legs main into coil over platforms 200lb srings to match (new) new wheels bearing both sides, with new kit and castle nuts etc (no play atall) new TCA with poly inner and outer (no play atall) Brand New wheels and new tyres to prove, (have another 2 sets all balanced also had the same issue) Steering rack is all tight with poly new princess discs and pads from rally design Whats would be my next step, is more than likely to be the hubs than anything else? Lost now, cant find a garage i can trust or with the knowledge of the old fords.
Danish Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Hubs seem to be about the only thing you haven't replaced?
seaneylad Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Posted April 16, 2015 Hubs seem to be about the only thing you haven't replaced? Hubs, strut inserts So I think it could be hubs. Well its next in the list
John escort mk1V6 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Hubs, strut inserts So I think it could be hubs. Well its next in the list If the hubs are damaged then you will it , the same when you have a wheel that have a curve.
seaneylad Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Posted April 16, 2015 If the hubs are damaged then you will it , the same when you have a wheel that have a curve. Going to send back the spare ones as they are poor. Try and source some better ones to see if it cures the issue, if not I'll have to find a local garage to take a look, baffled after that lol
