shakey steering wheel issues

so i got my new tyres put on, balanced and got the laser trackin shizzle done at bush (in louth this time!)

im not sure if there was as much play in the steering wheel as there is now before i got it done and now my steering wheel shakes/vibrates (wahey) at 70 mph.

I heard its down to incorrect balancing, is this correct?

sounds like balancing is out, take it back to bush's get it checked out.

damn right, i'd have turned around and been straight back there

As said above if there were no issues before having the work done, get the garage to inspect and report.
Before driving though I would ensure they have actually tightened your wheels up though.
Did they give you a printout of the alignment? Post it up

wheel balance mate, take it back

might not be till sat then cos i duno if i will get there in time in the week. not sure if there was as much play in the steerin either.

yeh i got a print out, dont understand it but the lad said my alignment was quite bad.

well i been back from louth, to hull and back and work a few dys now so i guess my wheel nuts are ok!

Put the print out up.

hang on!! keep ya wig on!

If you knew me you would know that was a daft statement

lol mine was out 22mm or some sh*t on the vr when it was first lowered!! passat before was 15mm which was a personal best until the vr!!lol!

mate, i got no idea what any of that means! not sure why they gave me it really.

lol so briggs-e or ady can read it and say yeah thats fooked,useless bsh tosser's!!lol

mr svf isnt fooked

no the balancing i meant

Basically all they have done is put the toe to the mean setting.
They haven't touched camber. The high negative camber -2 degrees on the front will make it follow the ruts in the road at high speed, but will give good turn in on slow speed corners.
The rear toe could do with reducing slightly to counteract the camber and would aid handling.
Rear camber is ok but I would reduce the front to be closer to -1 degree, plus the tyre wear will be a killer where it is now.

If your passing by and want it setting up so it handles better pop in.

passing by lol erm, no in a word! im an hour away from lincoln. so why have they done fuk all n charged me 56 quid for it. they saw me comin dint they!

i swear bush have it in for me they always fuk me over. no doubt i will get charged when i take it back as well.

To be fair to them (and I not sticking for them as I have no affiliation with them) they will have a minimum charge for putting any car onto the equipment and the checks they do prior to reading the chassis, us for example spend an hour just getting the car onto our equipment before any measurement is taken but then we have to cater for track day weapons and we have to be able to measure a little bit more than most places.

I do find it curious though that with the front camber being out of tolerance they haven't put it back within specification, or at the very least asked the customer if that was how they wanted it setting?

the front camber (that they have hardly changed) isnt within the min and max marks is it?

so my boss should let me off a bit early mora so im gonna ring up before n say i spoke to a few ppl includin a mechanic i.e corey lol and say that the balancin isnt right and i was the front camber reducing and the rear toe down a bit!

anything else?

Tolerance range is -50 minutes to – 10 minutes
It’s pre figure was left -2 degrees 5 minutes, right was -1 degree 59 minutes.
It’s post figure was left -2 degrees 8 minutes, right was -1 degree 59 minutes

Not within specification at all.

Certain new Audi's and VW's don't allow the front camber to be changed at all, what year is your car? and is it lowered at all?
If yours is one of the type that cannot be adjusted, getting camber adjustable top mounts would be an option.

03 and its on coilies and yeh now you mention it its only height adjustable so is that why?

9N chassis?

Camber can be adjusted on yours, rear would need camber shims (wedges).
How worn were the old tyres?

9n? no idea wyres were more crackin and perished than worn to be honest but i think 2 were on the limit.
