jdbecks Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi guys just joined from www.mr2oc.co.uk, Ive just imported my mr2, and just waiting on my reg number from dvla. I drove my car down to the mot testers on trade plates, and noticed really bad vibration at speeds of around 70mph, but around 30/40 seemed ok, I had all 4 tyres fitted and balanced by a mobile tyre fitters do you think this is my problem to the wheel vibration, the car has just passed its mot so there is nothing wrong with the mechanical componemts, the car is on yellow billies and lowered, I was planning to bring the car down to WIM to have its chassis stuff checked over can you guys also do wheel balancing?

Tony Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hello and welcome to wim At that sort of speed the problem must be balance.... Geometry and hub-centric problems occur at much lower speeds. Are the wheels OEM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
