Hi T Bucketeers, From a UK newbie, (Paul)
Has any one encountered Axle oscillation at 50 mph and again at 60 mph ?
This is NOt steering shimmy or wheel wobble, I've had and rectified both of these.
It starts at around 50 to 51mph and the same at 60-61mph, The hole front end starts to see saw from left to right, it steers straight and if you increase speed to 55 it disappears.
It appears to be as if i have square wheels or flat spots on the tyres ! I've got new tyres that have been balanced with the wheels off the car, Tracking set at 1/8 toe in, castor at 9 degrees.
The front end is Total Performance with aluminium Wilwood hubs, two pot Wilwood calipers, 4-1/2 x 15 Billet wheels, MT S/R radial tyres, and friction shocks as per TP front end.
Beginning to think it may be hubs out of balance, so next step may be to try wheel balance ON car to balance whole rotaing assembly of Hub and wheel.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks, Paul Q UK
