roadtrip Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Do you have spigot rings fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi mate check that the tyre is seated correctly also is it just the one wheel if so then swap it over with the opposite if it follows the wheel so to speak you know it's the wheel/ tyre but if it stays to that side then it's a bearing or such like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus01 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Some tyres can have a flat spot on them, balancing won't stop the juddering. Watch when tyres on the balancer to see if tyre has a flat spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 On a previous car I bought, the car had Goodyear F1 Eagles with plenty of tread, but experienced the same problem (at similar speed). Balanced the wheels but made no difference. The tyre fitter then removed the tyres, several repairs had been done to the tyre by the previous owner. After swapping the tyres, the juddering was gone.

Brummiestormer Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 These are brand new wheels and tyres no spacers i can't swap the wheels over as they are directional Mark---that's why i can't understand why im getting this problem at all.

Mopedmark Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Don't try anything then just live with the judder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I had a similar problem, wheel wobble over 40mph, had them re-balanced, wobble over 60mph, took them to another tyre dealer and re-balanced again, all out as the previous tyre dealer's equipment was out of calibration. Do your spigot rings fit nice and tight?...again, I went through 2 sets off ebay then had a set specially made for my car. I was also told that "Avon" tyres distort slightly at higher speed. I have these on the rears and I can still feel a vibration through my seat @ 80mph, only very slightly though. I can live with that. I know how you feel though, spending loads of money on wheels only to make the car worse. Makes you wish you hadn't bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummiestormer Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Apparently the new balancing machine was not set up properly and after another visit it's now thankfully ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Apparently the new balancing machine was not set up properly and after another visit it's now thankfully ok Good news - Hope they didn't charge you and refunded the second cost!

Spatt Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Glad to hear it's sorted.. I have a vibration issue but think it's gearbox balance related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Always watch the reading whilst being balanced. Always insist the readings must show 0 and 0 being inner and outer readings. 5 grams out on the front will be noticed. Glad you got it sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
