Steering Wheel Shake

[98Stang]

So after installing the new 19" wheels i have terrible wheel shake above 45mph. I took of the wheels and had them balanced. I checked lug nuts and everything is tight. Any ideas?

When i put the stocks back on problem goes away.

might need your rotors turned... Take it back and have them re-balance the wheels. If it still shakes, have them re-set the tire on the wheel. If it still shakes, then maybe your tires are out of round

its the tires you threw a belt in the radial

i hope not the rotors! i have slotted rotors so not like i can turn them. I think i figured it out! well maybe... the front two tires are 235/35/19 but the back i have one 265/30/19 and one 265/35/19. is that it??

I don't think it would be the rotors since there is no problem with the stock wheels. Are the tires directional, and on right?

3 of the 4 are directional and installed correctly. however i just noticed my back two tires are different sizes, one being 265/35 and the other 265/30

Yeah, that could do it.

It is a good possibility cause you said when your stock tires are on its fine.

thanks for everyone's input!

 

[wickedstangs]

keep us posted...

 

[98Stang]

for sure, will do

Well It could be the issue with the rear limited slip but your saying your feeling it on the steering wheel right. so what I would do would be to put your stock tires on the rear and do the process of elimination. Good luck.!

 

[98Stang]

thanks ill try that out northerncountry

 

[northerncountry]

not a problem just trying to trouble shoot one step at a time

 

[98Stang]

Steering wheel shake has been eliminated!! It ended up being that with the adapters the new rims were hitting the lug nuts and just grinded down very little from the back of the rims and now they fit excellent!
