My Tale of woe!
Ever sense I purchased my 62 Hawk I have been chasing a 68 MPH vibiraton .
When I purchased the car it had very good almost new tires so I paid for a wheel balance.
Then I checked the date codes on the tires and my car buddies told me horror stories of tire failures of out dated tires on hearsay but actual experience so I bought new tires from the same company that did balance.
Tire company advised that wheels were not real shape or true. Vibiraton a little better but still bugging a guy that worked on truck tire vibiraton all over the country and not pleasant trying to run I 75
Bought new American RacerAluminun 6 in by 15 in wheels and had the new P215 / 70R Fireston tires installed.
Threshold speed increased slightly to 70 mph and not quite as intense.
Had all 4 wheels road force balanced 1 tire was broken down and match mounted 1 wheel was one ounce off .
Vibiration worse at 68 but lessens at 70.Vibiration comes in and out like turning on a switch.
Vib feels like it is in vertical plane not a dither or shimmy.Hood oil cans.
Verry tough to run I 75 at 68 MPH.
Any one had experience with brake drums being out of balance?
Vibiraton continues with clutch in an engine at Idle.
No harmonics like a drive shaft.
Manual steering no lost motion in steering king pins are tight new looking shocks.
Comments welcome
