hey fellas, apologies for not having been online for awhile, work and what not. that and my cars been running beautifully until now...it has developed a shudder whilst driving from about 80km/h and beyond. u can feel it through the steering wheel, but, it swaps between shaking the steering wheel, and shaking the entire car but not the steering wheel if ya get me. its also exaggerated under brakes. i just had my brakes machined so im a bit lost.
any ideas?
Thanx

If you've gone offroad recently make sure there isnt any sand clumps stuck to the back of your rims. It will cause ur wheels to be unbalanced and does exactly what you're describing.

check all your bolts, especially through bushes are done up right. I had a rattle/shake/noise for ages that I couldn't find. In the end it was the bolt that holds the inside end of the control arm on was loose ( had about 1/2 a turn to go before it was off when I finally found it ).

i just read this thread http://www.ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=12384 the new wheels i got were desert rats with the different offset, could that put more pressure on the uni joints? i had a look at em a while ago, they were in ok condition i think but im thinking their true wear might be showing with the new wheels on the car??
yeh that was me, got them sent bak and some new ones bought in and they r great, took it for a run and they just needed a bit of balancing. threw my old wheels bak on just to be sure there were no other factors, there was the smallest shudder at around 120km/h +. threw the new ones back on and could notice the same thing but then it went away, but now its far worse. thats why i think it has to be something on my car itself as opposed to the wheels themselves, but other than the uni joints i just cant think of anything. the only things that have changed is ive gone from 13's to 14's and the offset is different. will inspect the uni joints tomorrow.
aaahaahahahah fwd = no tail shaft:P
try all the tie rod ends and ball joints and stuff as well....but i personally think its the wheels...maybe take them to get rebalanced...doesnt cost much at all
