Vibrating at speed

[96terrano]

We've started noticing that my t2 it vibrating at speeds over 65. We thought that a wheel waight might of came off one of the alloys but after we got new Waights put on it is still vibrating through the steering and body. Any ideas?

tracking ?

speaking from personal experience , its very easy to put the tracking out , all you have to do is for example run over a speed bump a bit too fast , or run onto the kerb when parking etc , quite cheap and easy to fix at most fast fit places :thumb2

Change your wheels front to back and test it. That will prove if you have a wheel or tyre problem. Tyres are not just about balance there can be other problems too.

bulge in tyre / damaged tyre, mud on inner wheel :nenau

sounds like balancing and or tracking to me, considering the speed it vibrates at. I'd also check the air in the tyres, perhaps deflate and re inflate. other options could be drop links, maybe even something on the steering idler..

Most garages will struggle to balance the T2 wheel properly due to the big hole in the middle
Try a van or lorry tyre place as they've got proper big wheel balancing gizmos :thumb2

Yeah, the alloys on my t2 are from a 97 maverick. We had them balanced but it done nothing. The guys who did them also do lorrys and tractors

Have you checked your prop shaft uj ?
If that's ok then go back to the garage and tell them to rebalance them AND as said before , put the fronts on the back.
That way the garage gets the haed work for cocking it up in the first place :sly
