"What are sprigot rings?"

See link directly above.

Davie

Are you sure you need spigot rings? Surely the PCD of the wheels would be correct for your car and so the nuts will keep the wheels in check? [*-)]

[bigdavie]

strangely enough i got the spigot rings and its only made a slight improvement to the vibration !!

help !!

[euan_r]

sorry for being ignorant but have you checked all other causes balance,bearings, geometry, track rod ends

[AlanG]

Checked wheel balance? If it starts at say 80mph (which you say) but disappears at a higher speed (not that you would of course... [] ), more than likely wheel balance.

If not, maybe check all bushes on the front end of the car (track control arms etc)

[bigdavie]

see i thought it was spigots because it only happened when i changed the alloys over and the wheels where balanced when i put the new tyres on ??

dunno maybe take it elsewhere to get balanced again

[bigdavie]

btw took it to national tyres and said to the guy have you got spigot rings mate as i think i need some he said whats spigot rings !!!!!

[euan_r]

if its a complete new set you could change them from back axle to front and vice-versa. dunno just a suggestion

[phil]

I am assuming this is a light hearted thread!

I trust no moderation will be required

 

 

[Gumball]

LOL

[darryl_martin]

Someone else had some vibration issues on here. Turned out that although the correct weight had been put on the wheel (say 30g) instead of using one 30g weight the garage had used 6x5g weights, causing some of the weight to be stuck in the wrong place, causing vibration.

[bigdavie]

your assumptions are correct phil !!
