Steer Wheel Shimm at 45-55km

[ednik]

Hey guys/gals - this one is keeping me awake at night - just wondering if someone could give me their thoughts... here goes...

CAMRY CSI V6 AUTO 3.0 (Australia) 187000 km (Last Major , 6 months ago)

Symptom:
Getting slight steering wobble at 45 - 55km but she sails straight and smooth above this speed (tested to 110kmph)

Possible Causes ?:
- Four new tyres 1 month ago, balanced twice because I thought they could be out of balance but the garage tells me they are all good?
- New tyre(s) are out of round ?
- Rims (Stock) are bent ?
- Resurfaced front brake discs done during major service 6 months ago?
- New P/Steering boots done at Major Service (which would have had an alignment done)

Things to try ?:
- Rotate tyres to see if front on back gets rid of wobble ?
- New front discs ?
- Wheel alignment ?
- Or just bad budget tyres (Trazano)?

I'm sure I didnt get this shimmer when I had my worn old rubbers on.

Any thoughts appreciated man..

Thank's
N.

Wow that was easy!

You did the post, the symptom, the possible causes, AND the cure!

You obviously don't need us. You need a new tire!

Wish that was the case mate!!! That one was bugging the hell outta me for a while... until I swapped the tyres around.

Hey - I do need some thoughts on my latest post in the Gen 3-4 forum... any ideas on that one (Shock replacement)

Good onya.
