wody Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) how long have you had your 24's? are they balanced? had em rotated recently? can you feel it through the steering wheel or in your seat and floor?

usabodyguard Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 how long have you had your 24's? are they balanced? had em rotated recently? can you feel it through the steering wheel or in your seat and floor? - 6 months - they were balanced when i bought them yes - rotated about 2 months ago? - seat and floor... good call on that one... linkage? bushings? muffler bearing?

SSThunder Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 - 6 months - they were balanced when i bought them yes - rotated about 2 months ago? - seat and floor... good call on that one... linkage? bushings? muffler bearing? (heh) If it was either of the front wheels you would feel it through the stering wheel. Think it could be a betn wheel on the rear? It would have to be bent pretty good for you to notice it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(heh) Did the vibrations start not long after you rotated the tires? Maybe one of them lost a wheel weight during the rotation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wody Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 mine came stock with the weights on the outside so i went down and had em re balanced with the weights moved to the inside for 15 bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyVP1 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Did you check the U-joints on the driveshaft?? If the rear U-joint is really sloppy, you will hear a clunk noise going from park to drive gears or Neutral to drive gears... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 he got this figured out he said it was the tires/ rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
