Oh My God I Just Give Up!!

[Kickingriffin]

Theres anew problem with the Cally, and i dont think its good!! Literally just popped to the shop, have heavy juddering which you can feel through sterring wheel! Thought it was a puncture, no idea, but it doesnt feel good at all!!!

[simonV6]

stupid question but are the wheel bolts tight?

Have you hit the wheels hard last time it was driven?

could be driveshaft?

Is it consantly or just when accelerating or braking?

[Kickingriffin]

Well i will check the bolts, unsure about driveshaft but have just had a cv joint done on saturday. you can hear it all the time. it just came from no where. i didnt hit wheels it started after turning into a junction.

juddering could be your tracking. have driven 2 callys with this problem and tthe juddering got very severe above 60mph. might even be as simple as a tyre with low pressure

[Kickingriffin]

Well this was just so out of the blue though!

[johnny_adidas]

is it pulling to either side or just juddering?

[simonV6]

if you just had the cv done it might be worth checking that area if it suddenly started after going round a corner.

seem a bit out of the blue for tracking plus you wouldn't really notice that at low speeds.

[Kickingriffin]

I havent really noticed any pulling though no.i wish i could describe it better, ive never felt anything so dodgy before. And i wana go to Swindon, cant have to car off the road, aaaahhhh!

Could also be steering rack?

[johnny_adidas]

take a look at the cv joint

[simonV6]

Can yoou feel it through the whole car or just through the steering?

[Kickingriffin]

Mainly through the steering id say, i did think maybe steering rack, is that expensive?

[T.F.S.]

cgheck wheel bolts then che4ck the castenut

please check before driving.....you could get hurt!

just check bolts and then jack one side up and try to wiggle" the alloy, if it moves tighten the castlenut

then do other side front and back

[Kickingriffin]

Is the castlenut the hub nut??

[T.F.S.]

yes, its on the disc (simple mans terms)

make sure it has a pin going through it too

on FWD they should be TIGHT
