Guest RichyRZ-S Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, I have a bit of a steering shudder. Ive put on new and balanced wheels but its still there. Going round a corner to the right produces a scary shudder and feels as if the wheels are trying to go a different direction, round to the left is ok. Anyone have any tips to fix this as I dont know a great deal at the moment ? Might this be the geometry ? I had the car checked when i bought it but the guy said it wasn't needing a geometry. Could do with some help folks as this is staring to wind me up. PLEASE HELP Cheers !

jevansio Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Can you clarify, you've put on 4 brand new wheels & tyres fully balanced. For the sake of a geometry check I would get that done yourself rather than relying on what the guy who sold you the car said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichyRZ-S Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yes mate the wheels are brand new out the box. I took off the tyres from my old wheels to put on them. Ok i'll set about getting a geometry cheers mate. Im hoping its something simple but as i said i really have no idea just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Are you not better off taking it to a local specialist? they would probably have it diagnosed much quicker than taking guesses over the internet, just my gut feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichyRZ-S Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yes mate I will do that but i was just seeing if maybe anyone had experienced the same thing and could give me an idea. I notice its the facelift model you have. its what i also have. Is there i big difference to the older one reference the VVT-i ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand mate, I hope you didn't think I was meaning you wouldn't get a solution here, I was just guessing that you want this problem fixing ASAP and an internet solution can be a long drawn out affair with lots guesswork & elliminations, whereas a garage with the car infront of them could probably have that sussed in a couple of hours if they are worth their salt. I understand you thought process though that if others have experienced this it will give you a number of possible solutions In a nutshell non-vvti is slightly cheaper to tune with regard to the head (cams) & the lack of issues controlling the vvti with an aftermarket ecu. VVTi is more powerfull in stock form though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
