I have recently had some suspension work done on the car. no problems but have noticed that the steering wheel shakes at around 70 - 80kph but stops at faster speeds.it is a slight but constant shake.I know that they have done a wheel balance but not alignement. could this be it. oh and it also 2 brand new tyres on the front. any ideas?

What it was ... they make a tyre by overlapping various layers of rubber, steel belts etc, and apparently - mine was overlapped too thick - and the tyre was out of round (you could see it on the tyre balancing machine).Solution was - tyres were replaced.

Or just a poor balance maybe but not alignmentChooka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24202-wheel-shaking-80kph/#findComment-362394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
