1. Just put my new 22" stormer on but after two balance the shake at 80-90 km/t is still there.. Any ideas??

2. When driving over smal bumps I can hear a metalsound coming from the rear left. What could that be??

3. My steering wheel still makes a sound when turning it left and right. Tried silicon spray but no use....

Hi RRS Norway,

2. might be a daft question but is everything in the tool kit / underfloor area secure ?

3. I get a slight noise when turning the wheel but so have the other 3 that i have driven

Im pretty sure that squeaky steering has been a known problem, cured, believe it or not with some fancy anti-squeak power steering fluid, I think ! FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car

Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Rattle from rear left could be a broken up park brake shoe, I had this on mine it needed a new disc and shoes.

1: 22's are very hard to ballance, take them back to the tyre center (Kwik Fit took 3 goes in the end for me)

2: Look to see if the left rear harmonic damper is touching something when it swings?

3: Mine does it too... solution... turn radio on

EDIT:

Try getting the rears put on the front (garage probably tried this).. On replica alloys the build quality may be "less" than genuine alloys, so one of the alloys may have warping which the ballancer will not be able to weight up... RRS gone

+1 for swapping rears and front

And also for getting them to have another go - potentially I would try a different tyre centre with a Hunter Hawke (or equivalent) and get the alignment done as well. I put up with it for 2 years after having these done at a reputable place and the dealer investigating it to no avail. Took it to a different place and all sorted.

Hope you get the problems sorted  2011 Autobiography Santorini Black
