Re: Steering Vibrations?
do you mean a flat spot as in a lack of power somewhere in the rev range?

I'l swap the wheels over one side at a time tommorow. That way I can work out if it is the wheels which side it is

Re: Steering Vibrations?

It seems unlikely I know but I'd change it, the movement has to be coming from somewhere and it sounds like you've eliminated almost everything else.Bailes1992 wrote:Think a track rod could cause a shake/vibrations in the steering?

Re: Steering Vibrations?
Well I got new track rods, wishbones and droplinks sat in the garage but I need to play hell with Euro car parts cause I ordered two ECP wishbones and they've sent me one unbranded one and one Qdrive wishbone. Scared that this will cause an odd handling car.steve_earwig wrote:It seems unlikely I know but I'd change it, the movement has to be coming from somewhere and it sounds like you've eliminated almost everything else.Bailes1992 wrote:Think a track rod could cause a shake/vibrations in the steering?

Plan is to fit these budget parts I got, and if they last a year I'l be happy. Between now and then I'm going to get the old OEM wishbones on the car now, fit new balljoins and polybushes and then when I lower it I can fit them

Good bop bop, good vibrations
Bop bop, excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
