Rear end vibrations

Posted By : Timothy Ward, 11-Jun-2003, 06:42pm

Hi,

Got an annoying rear end vibration on a Spitfire 1500 at approx. 70 (+ ish) mph, I am guessing a wheel is out of balance. All UJs should be good as I replaced them about a year ago. Any ideas on what to check?

Cheers,

Tim.

If it's the kind of 'eyeballs vibrating in their sockets' vibration then I would suspect a missing wheel weight too. Been there, had that.

Your could try swapping wheels front-back to find out for sure. Easy test.
