Lee-Anne Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Had a bit of an accident in the Supra and hit a kerb at around 60mph the wheels are kirbed but not buckled luckly enough the kerb was slanted but from that happening the car starts to vibrate from 50mph and its not through the steering so not sure if it will be the wheel alignment or balancing any ideas? I'm taking up to Farmers Autocare but not much confidence in them with the supra as they didnt even know were to order brake discs for it!!

Mike M Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi, If your close to Bonnybridge try speaking to John at Pro-Grip just alongside the canal. He knows the chassis well and does 4 wheel alignment. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee-Anne Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have left it with them he seems to think its a wheel bearing if it rumbles after 50mph he said on the test drive it seemed to be bouncing on the road driving at 15-20mph.

black cat Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 oh well tires are an easy fix, wheel bearings could have been expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
