Vibrating Noise

[peedman]

If its a loose wheel u can really hear it and it sounds that something is definately wrong.

Is it at high speeds only or pretty much all the time?

No pretty much all the time, can't be a lose wheel me and my dad checked out the wheel and retightened the adapter and everything.

didnt you say you put the tyres on your rims at home ur self? maybe it needs balance n allignment.

my money is on the disc being warped.its noticable now since he put those big adaptors on.

Hey all dubbers,

I have a problem with my front left wheel. When the car is in motion it vibrates I have no idea. Me and my dad checked out the wheel on Saturday, thought it might be the adapter but it wasn't. When the car is rolling forward or even going at about 80khm, it still vibrates abit. When I put my foot on the brake it stops making the sound

I have no idea what it could be, can anyone help me.

=====================
I've seen it happen. If the wheel has lost the alignment weights, it could have an induced 'shimmy'.

rims are 1 week old,could have fallen off.swap the rims around and see what happens

[ontarv]

the stick on weights used to balance mags
often fall off, more so on new rims cause some
fitters don't clean where the weight is put, like
you would an older rim
but bad balance is generaly only at different
speed ranges eg : 60-80 80-100
not constant !
if it is low speeds could be tyre fault
diffinately move wheel to see if prob follows
(i'll go and club myself a wife now)

wheel bearing maybe? because of the spacer there is more of a lever action acting on it?

When I took delivery of my Polo the Contis on it made a funny vibrating noise on very smooth tarmac. Salesman said they just needed to wear the nubbly bits off and they'd settle down. They did ... eventually ( @ about 5000k).

Otherwise ... don't know what to tell you. Previous car (a Toyota) had a shimmy in the steering for the 8 years I had it ... no one could do anything with it - wheel alignments, balancing ... nothing made any difference. At 100kph ... there it was ... right 'til I traded it on the dub ... (and oohh the relief )

The Fords actually have that problem, they need to add a shim to the steering. Checked the wheel last night and the adapter bolts 2-3 were lose WTF, anyway my dad used locktight, and today we are taking the car to get the wheel rebalanced and get the front realigned. It needs a alignment.
