I need to Borrow some wheels for a test run on e92 m3??

Ashbc · 07-28-2015, 05:23 PM

I feel a slight issue and have had everything checked underneath, last resort is checking the alloys, if anyone in the Yorkshire area has some I could borrow would be appreciated..

s14_kev · 07-28-2015, 05:25 PM

What is the issue exactly? Are you running aftermarket whees/spacers/suspension/brakes?

Ashbc · 07-28-2015, 06:28 PM

Everything is stock, wheels, suspension, brakes, I don't have any spacers.. Get a funny feeling in steering, had 4 wheel alignment on a hunters machine, still no joy.. Guessing to swap wheels before I invest

more and piss away more money trying sort this problem 😕😕

What is the funny feeling? Did you check the tyre balance yet?

w0ady · 07-28-2015, 06:42 PM

Have the wheels been balanced recently?

Ashbc · 07-28-2015, 07:40 PM

Feels very unstable over pot holes or uneven road, wheels have been balanced and all good on that account

Does anyone know if the 2011 Golf R 19" alloys would fit my e93 m3, Iv found a set I could borrow from a mate but want to confirm fitment??

NO

If they're fine on smooth roads but unstable on potholes/uneven roads, it sounds like more of a shock issue. How many miles on your car? Could the shocks be worn out from age/use?

Ashbc · 07-29-2015, 10:02 PM

60k miles, Iv had shocks n suspension checked, seems to be pretty straight underneath

TomHudson · 07-31-2015, 06:19 AM

Check rear suspension (shocks bushings etc); usually the culprit for instability over bumps.

burtonsbs5114 · 07-31-2015, 08:53 AM

How is the tread life on the tires? On my old S5, I had Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's on it and after about half tread life they began to track terribly and made the car feel very unstable over uneven roads.

skidawgz · 07-31-2015, 09:01 AM

That sounds like bushings to me, just an idea to double check.

Ashbc · 07-31-2015, 10:52 AM

Iv had all bushings checked, been told they solid, I'm running Michelin ps2, near new.. I'm getting a similar feel to bump steer,
