I would check: A. Tire balance. B. Bent wheel. C. Tire out of round. D. Worn bushings. E. All of the above. Good hunting. Harlan. --Original Message-- From: John77577@aol.com <John77577@aol.com> To:

Hi John, I have 280Z and the wheels are not the best reference for testing. Number one cause for wheel shakes is unbalanced wheels. Shackes above 55mph are probably other causes maybe your alignment

I had a bad wheel shimmy on my MGA for years and just lived with it. I have kept the same wire wheels and put a set of radials on Now this weekend I bought a new set of wires and the bias ply tires

Just a comment on your comment.... I think it is far more likely that your shake/rattle and whatever were due to your old wheels rather than the radials. There are a lot of A's and B's out there wit

Good list, IMHO I would only add that do those wheels have the correct 'offset' for the car. IE does the 'centre' of the tyres footprint sit under the 'centre' of the wheel bearings, or pretty close?
