steering vibrations

[BmwRocks]

hey guys hope someone can help me with this problem. I was at sunway pyramid yesterday when i hit a lubang!!! After that incident my steering wheel vibrates alot at 40-70km/h. The vibration gets lesser as i go faster. Oh yeah and also when i am turning, the vibration is also les apparent. Could anyone tell me if its a major problem? Am sending the car for balancing tomorrow. Thanks in advance

aiyah....if rim bengkok what to do? Will balancing be enough or is there a way to "unbengkok" the rim??

I think you shud did the wheel balancing and we discuss again. Lubang normally that thing.

try to do balancing first..

if it really bengkok,
then kene bakar aar itu sportrim..
kira macam kene mold balik..

Repairing a bent wheel inevitably involves heating it up and by extension weakens the wheel itself.

Would you want to save a few bucks and drive on weakened wheels thereby endangering your life and that of your loved ones, or would you want to be safe and drive on new replacement wheels? I chose the latter.

Money can always be earned back, but a life once lost is truly lost forever.

yup..
he's saying the truth..

But our friend here seem to be no answer until now whether he found the problem that cause the vibrations.

metalrizca...dude..if u hear like buzzing sound when u turn the steering left of right...it could also be a sign of ur power steering pump is gonna go kaput sometime soon..dont worry...pretty common...happens to most cars between 4 years and above...check that out

 

[dumeort]

luckily rim bengkok, if others than that, sound expensive to me.

I have also got my bangkok wheels repaired at Kee Hin on Old Klang road. think they send it somewhere to repair it. but those guys are good at wheel balancing and alignment.
