gq patrol wheel shake.

[vitopatrol]

i fitted my 37inch creepys on to my gq patrol now i get a big shake through the steering wheel starting at about 60k's and up to around 80k's.

the tyres were balanced when i bought them the shop, they are brand new, i had sum 31 stockos that cruising around on never had any issues, whats the go??

[THE-Burger-Ring]

did you get wheel allignment??
they are a bias tire to so they arnt going to be good for road anyway.. i am not saying that its supposed to shake though,, to me that sounds like wheel allignment staright away.

[vitopatrol]

it mite had a wheel aligment with the 31's on it, would it be different once 37's are on?

[THE-Burger-Ring]

i think so,, for 65 bux i would get it done,,

This is a common cause on the trols.

Bigger tyres exagerate most issues which were ok with smaller tyres.

check for play in:

King pin bearings - jack wheel up and wobble the tyre from top and bottom.

wheel bearings - same thing but wheel bearings will woble side to side as well as top and bottom.

panhards bushes.

big muds are very hard to balance perfectly and alot of places only do an average job - twice now i have had a balance done and found no improvement - checked all of the above then gone to a different place for a new balance and explained that the last balance i got else where was crap and you think this place will do a 'better job' makes them want to prove you right and both times it was just the shite job done last time.

How big is you lift for 37's? have you had castor correction done?

alignment isnt normally where to turn for wheel wobble but i may be proved wrong.

If it's not the panhard bushes it will be the king pins. I went through all this sh*t with my pig, bite the bullet and bought a swivel hub rebuild kit. All fixed now.
