Steering Wheel Vibration
So I ended up getting new tires thinking it possibly could have been worn out tires. Well I was wrong. Went back and had the tires re balanced and 1 happened to be off and corrected the issue by a bit but the problem is still there. I was assured that none of the rims was bent when they were assessed and now I'm stuck to wonder what is it?
I have 12mm and 15mm spacers installed and no springs. Is there a recommended camber setting when re alignment is done? I seriously don't even know what to do anymore. |

I gave up on spacers in the front....I had OEM wheels and my VMR's...both were true and perfect but would still give me a steering wheel shimmy with 15mm spacers.

Get your wheels checked. I'm positive one of mine is out of spec on lateral runout, since I get a shimmy sometimes but only if I release the steering wheel. If I have it grabbed (like I always do), I don't feel anything, so not a big deal to me. When I powdercoated my wheels I had a bad case of shimmy after I was done. After 3 times rebalancing the tires, they're almost to the way they were before removal, and the guy doing the balancing called me to alert me one wheel looked out of spec. I knew dealer wouldn't warranty a powdercoated wheel, so didn't even waste my time. And yes, these cars are pretty darn sensitive to any runout, especially with 19s, which have very little give on the sidewall. And those wheels and tires are also hard to balance right. Good luck.

I got 4 brand new BBS CH-R and new set of Pirelli P-zero Corsa tyres. Balanced three times in two different dealer and still have some vibration on the steering.
