Vibration

Postby todd_ford_el » April 25th, 2010, 9:11 am

Ok I've got a problem I went down a dirt road yesterday and got real muddy. After I cleaned the mud out there is now a twrrible vibration that seems to be coming through the steering or breaks, anything over 80km/h is just scary, it's still drivable at 100km but I'm worried somethings going to break... Please help me find out what's wrong

clean your rims, there would be mud on the actual inside of the rims, that will throw the balance out

yep.. as wicksy has said.. get the rims off and clean the inside...
this happens to my hilux all the time..
they get filled with mud and anything above 80km/h it feels like you're driving a washing machine on full spin down the highway...!!
