Hey Chaps

-In 3rd/4th/5th/6th gear at 65mph + (when giving it the beans) i get shakey stearing wheel. This includes when im sat at say 70mph on the motorway and i accelerate in 6th gear to say 80/85 i also get this shake, its reasonably well pronounced

-Also feels like a slight juddering when i come off the throttle/on the overrun.

-Also when under hard acceleration and i am cornering as soon as i let go of the steering wheel it 'Centers' automatically straight away, or feels 'Torque-steerey' when i boot it from standing starts.... Tracking? Does not feel stable at speeds. There is also a heavy feel to the steering wheel

Is this likely to be just tracking/wheel balancing? When Matt and i redid the brakes recently we checked drive shafts which seemed to both be fine. No gearstick wobble. Judder under braking has gone but this judder under throttle has been apparant since i did the ball joints i believe....

Is it possible a weight or two has fallen off the cyclones causing my wheels to be unbalanced?

Just wana get an idea before i go pay for tracking and wheel alignment to be done and then find its no better...

Tyres seem to still be wearing evenly

Many thanks

I did the balljoints about 2k ago and the shake seems to have started then. I have had the pbushes done about 20k ago

My clones have been balanced for 15K and never had this issue. Unsure how they can just become unbalanced

Also doesnt explain the heavy steering wheel or torque steer thing. Or the unwillingness to corner!

I reckon its tracking atleast....

I forgot to mention I also had a loose tre, which caused similar lift off and torque steery stuff as you mentioned. So I would try that too.

And what about the steering issues Stan? I was testing it again today and as soon as I let go mid cornering it centers quite suddenly. Heavy feel to the wheel

Haven't done my pressures in a couple months.

Pas seems to be ok, I did two fluid changes by draining the reservoir and fluid has remained red

I think at the weekend I will get alignment, pressures and balancing done then see where I stand
