This one is driving me crazy, I'm looking for some fresh ideas.
The car is my fully restored Triumph Spitfire, after restoration (25k miles) I fitted new Tires. The old tires were performance tires and wore quickly, but all was well and Tire wear was even.
The New tires where Yokohama Avid Touring (I'm not so much into competition these days)
Within a mile or so of having the Yoko's installed (Discount tire) I noticed the Shake at 50 mph.
At the time I put it down to the road surface.
I have about 2k on the tires now, and still get the shake about 50% of the time, sometimes worse than others.
The shake is not so much through the steering but through the front of the car (I see the hood shake and gear lever)
What I have done:
Rotated the wheels.
Checked Tires and wheels for Run Out
Had wheels re- balanced
Run the car up to speed on a lift
Replaced the drive shaft
Any ideas please.
