Saleen Replicas

[Chuckster88]

How is everyone getting the shimmey out of the steering wheel around 45-50 MPH with Saleen Replicas? It's starting to get on my nerves!

Everyone doesn't have that problem. Get an alignment.

Where they balanced correctly?

Yea that doesn't sound like a "normal" thing, i'd say something needs adjusted.

Youve got something not right

 

[PDubs]

You need some balancing.

actually he is stating a known problem and it does seem to be "normal" with a certain type of saleen replicas. I know MANY stangers that have to put electrical tape around the hub/studs and then put the wheel back on to stop the vibration around a certain speed. I've been following this because I have a set of gunmetal saleen replicas from OE Wheels.

So try the electrical tape. Quite a few people on Modular Depot have done it to fix there vibration problem with the replicas

I had a set of Y2K from OE wheel and it felt funny between 50-75mph, had the wheels balanced 3 times at different places and still the same, sold the wheels and the kid said he had no issues at all

Alignment?

Oh great and I just ordered mine.

I have that problem too with my stock rims which I didnt orignally have. Find a place that does high speed balancing. Its where the balance the wheel on the car so its balanced to the car itself.

 

[helty]

ive heard of this before too. which ones have the problem? oe wheels, afs, or wheel replicas?

 

[stangboy999]

Were these ordered with the tires and rims already mounted and balanced?

I'd take it to a shop and have them re-balance the setup.

2001 Geeee T Good post, i've never heard of this high speed balancing. maybe thats why some people see the vibration and others do not, cuz some people just happen to have their car at a shop that does high speed balancing.
