Calling All Is Owners On 18's With Eibachs...

[Fever]

Ok....driving along above 60 mph and I get a very slight steering wheel shake and when braking hard from above 60 mph. I had the wheels re-aligned after the springs were fitted.

Does anyone else get this under this kind of wheel and spring setup....what else could I do to improve the ride and get rid of the slight shaking?

Thanks in advance guys.

i had Eibachs on the monster with 18" rims....well untill getting the Coilovers.

have you got uprated Anti-roll bars, as i would suggest these.

however i never had any stability issues with mine, have you checked tire pressures.....etc etc

[Zee007]

I concur with Mat - I currently have no issues with my set-up, but I have the TTE anti-roll bars, and would highly reccomend them....

[Monster-Mat]

........infact Zee you have my Eibachs, and exhaust, and.........

i recomend TRD yellow Anti roll bars

[Zee007]

........infact Zee you have my Eibachs, and exhaust, and.........

........ I do yeah.........

Thanks guys...I was actually planning to look into those soon anyway!

But in the meantime, do you think that getting the balancing of the wheels rechecked would help?

[Zee007]

Are you sure your EBC Discs aren't warped?

[Monster-Mat]

yep id suggest getting the balancing done on the wheels , especially the fronts........

then get some Anti-roll bars :)

.........also check your brake discs.....especially EBC ones

[Fever]

Aarrggghh....Zee....wish you hadn't said that now mate dont you have EBC's?? However, I don't think they are...so balancing check and some anti-roll bars are now on my list, well first off anyway!

Thanks guys.. B)

Sounds like a balance issue, if not then look for a tyre or wheel deformity.

Neil have you checked the weights on the wheels?if they're on the inside have a

look to see if they 've come loose and fallen off.

[Fever]

Thanks guys, the wheel balancing is defo at the top of my list...do you think just going someone like ATS would be ok?

Thanks - Neil

[Bazza]

you could allways try swapping the rears for the fronts

see if there is any difference

Kwik Fit will rebalance your wheels for £5 per corner. :winky:

[Fever]

Sweet sound good to me...

[Jock]

While you're in Kwik-Fit, you could get all four wheels balanced and you could also ask them to check your wheel alignment to make sure it's all correct. That costs 20 quid and takes about half an hour to do properly. B)

Hitting a pot-hole in the road can knock out your alignment, it's worth getting checked mate.

Kwik Fit are a bunch of cowboys....dont go there.

[Jock]

I find if you watch the Kwik Fit boys, it'll be done properly.

Don't just sit in reception, that's when they could pull the WD-40 & wire brush con! I used to work for Kwik Fit years ago..... and believe me, I couldn't believe my eyes when some of the guys used to do it.

Anyway, even if you don't go to Kwik Fit, it's still worth getting the wheel alignment checked by someone.
