Whats up everyone. Iam new to the club. I just brought a GS 300 and Put 19s on it. Since they have been on my steering wheel has been shaking at 50-55 mph. Can anyone help me out with this problem.

I just have the same problem but I'm on stock 16'' just bring it in for Balancing

 

Make sure they measure the roadforce variation.

thanks chinspot and JPI. I have taken it in for a balance twice. I'm thinking that they didn't do it or they didn't do it correctly. Is there something else to recommend.

 

if it's not alignment and wheel balance then you should have the steering wheel pretensioner checked out

 

is that a dealer recommended check or can i take it to an aftermarket spot.

 

How do I get my Id to look like that. The presentation of your site is very professional. Off the chain in fact. I would lioke the look if you do mind.

 

manhattan1 - are your rims hubcentric? If not, do you have centering rings installed? If not, you should.

Also, wheel shake problems are related to:

- balance
- tires (worn, cupped, poor quality, defective)
- rims (bent, or poor quality)
- alignment (which can cause problems with tires)

If your tires are out of round, or the tire itself is somehow unbalanced, it may not be possible to get a smooth ride with them (you'll have to replace them).

I speak from experience with all of the above problems at one time or another!

Also, you need to find a GOOD balancing place that uses Hunter equipment and as JPI says, they need to do a road force variation balance. I even get an 'on car' high speed balance done in addition to the regular balance.

 

thanks for all the help. I'll take you're suggestions to my custom shop and get back with you guys with the results.
