eddie Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 I have been having juddering issues on my lexus when im going between 50 and 60mph. Is it geo that is off? Getting annoying rather than stopping me from driving. Before I take it in (either garage or tyre centre) wanted to get some feedback on here to avoid wasting time and money cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Possibly wheel balance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Balancing was the first thing I thought of too or a buckled wheel. Hit any holes recently? Can you drive through it, what's it like at 70mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Yeah I think there may have been a pot hole - I can drive through it - its ok at 70mph - tyre centre it is then for a check up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I might have to take mine down for a geo check after hitting the biggest hole I've seen the other week on the way to work. Plus I swerved and didn't go down the deepest part. The car has felt like it's tugging to the left since and I have to correct it to the right. The car has only had one geo and that was when I bought it 8 years a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 The issue with the 200/ 300 is not the discs, it's the drive flange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
