    Buckled Wheel?

    Forgot to say if your not sure if it's buckled or not then take it to a tyre centre, it may only need balancing.

    Buckled Wheel?

    I'v driven with a buckled wheel before. Yes you will get juddering through the steering wheel at all speed. I had to get rid of mine as the juddering really annoyed me.
  3. That seems realistic, I have a feeling i'm going to be forking out alot of £10's. All I need to do is find a quality shop to do it for me, the hunt begins. Thanks Rickeh
  4. Thanks for the idea I actually replaced my previous wheels with the ones I have now because one of the wheels was buckled and the shaky steering wheel annoyed me alot. So no shaking steering wheel now.
  5. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I have know idea how much it usually cost, always thought it would be expensive.
  6. Appretiate your help. Hopefully it is just a guard, nice and easy Seriously though if it does turn out to be just the guard should I be blaming the twichy rear end on the lack of my wheels being aligned?
  7. Loving the brainstorming dude Plenty of stuff for me to check, cheers Hub nut was torqued to the correct setting, I can't remember what the setting is but I remember having to borrow works torque wrench to do it as mine didn't go as high. While it was at the garage I was able to get under the car myself and honestly could'nt see any reminents of grease on the inside of the wheels or anywhere as I also thought it could br the CV rubbers, if the CV joint has failled would there be excessive play?. Callipers definitely not sticking, no play in the pads. Do you still have your knocking noise now?
  8. Should mention that one of the checks today was rotating all the wheels freely by hand to check for strange noises but nothing strange at all and i'm pretty sure the guard would be no different if on load or not so I guess that's that eliminated, I will still check tomorrow anyway.
  9. I managed to get my fingers in the bottom of the guards to check for stones and all was ok but I havn't actually checked all around the guards for clearance so I will be doing that tomorrow, thanks dude. I still don't think the noise would be as loud as it is now with just the guard rubbing, would it?
  10. Hi people My Sup is making a horrible knocking/grinding noise, sounds like it's coming from a rear arch I thinkd. I feel like i'v exhausted all of my options now So far i'v tightened the handbrake, changed a wheel bearing, fitted new rear drop links, torqued all the subframe nuts and bolts and to top it all of I had it in a garage today and they checked all the bolts under the car also checked for unwanted movement in the suspension components, play in wheels and sticking callipers but all seems to be ok. The guy there said that my wheel geometry is out drastically and I should get it sorted but that wouldn't cause a knocking would it? The syptoms of the car are as follows: Knocking noise that gets faster as I increase speed, makes no difference if the clutch is on or not. The noise still occurs when braking. Rear end feels very twitchy almost to the point that it's difficult to drive safely in the wet (hence why I thought it would be the subframe bolts). The noise is louder from the inside of the car than the outside. I drive with the windows open when the noise gets on my t1ts. Apart from the geo setup I can't think of anything else to try, maybe suspension as I currently have some old tein steets on there? Is there anybody on here that would be able to have a look at it? Hopefully not too far away Any advice is appretiated, thanks.
  11. Looking good dude. One of my most favourite mods are my HID's
  12. First post and not even a hello Seriously though go for it.

    I'M a new one

    Welcome and congrats on your purchase! That's a very nice Supra you have.
  14. That is amazing! I feel like i'v jumped straight into the future.
  15. You'll be a better driver because of it in the long run (this does not apply to everyone ). I went into the back of a stationary car a couple of years ago in the bmw, ever since (especially in the Sup) I have always kept a nice distance between my and the car in front
  16. Sorry to hear about your Sup. How did you manage to beach it, lapse of concentration/icy roads? I'm glad your original thread didn't start like this

    Is there something fishy about all these newbies with there ''hi all'' threads? Anyhow Welcome you mysterious person you
  19. Yeah the problem just got worse and worse over a couple of weeks so when I managed to load the game and sign in there was no way I was gonna give it the opportunity to pause so I would just leave it on Will keep an eye out cheers bud.
  20. Does having LPG affect the cost of insurance? I'm assuming you have to declare it
  21. The front wipers are 20'' and 21'' not sure on the rear.
  22. I must learn to read more and not just look at the pretty pictures
  23. That looks the bees knees! It seems as if the red colour is occuring before it hits the redline, was this because of costumers choice or was it just the video?
