Steering Wheel and Car Body Vibrating After Changing New Rims?


Your car vibrating after changing to a new rim? tire and rim definitely was not balanced off? Usually workers of the tire workshop know what to do if customers change or new tires new rims, of course they will balancing your new rim and tyre. If your car still vibrating even though the tires and rims are balanced, check your new rims if there got any space in the middle, I mean in between the hub and the rim. means that the hub do not fit the new rims / fully seated on the hub. if this happens, I'm sure your car will vibrate at a speed of 90km / h and above.

Because of these problems, then human produce the "Wheel Hub Center Ring" or better known as the Center cone. Center cone is available in various sizes for fit as needed. This is an example of Center cone I found in the market.

When the Center cone installed on your new rims, meaning that there is no space for rim to move that causing vibrations. The four nuts that lock the rim was not sufficient to prevent the rim from shaking when the rim spinning in a high speed . I had been using this on my 14inch rim, and the results were very satisfactory, no more annoying vibration when driving in high speed.

Center cone price starts from (Ringgit Malaysia) RM25-RM75 (US$90 - US$270) a piece depending on size and quality. usually only the front rim will be fitted with this, but personally  encouraged to fit it to the rear rims too. Hopefully this post will help to solve the vibration to the car while driving
