No it's not a common fault. What are the new tyres? They are pirelli p6000 205/55 v >> Help, i have a 2.0 dturbo hdi and i am getting steering judder at about >> 70mph [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >No it's not a common fault.

Had a similar problem years ago on a Cortina and later on a Princess. The answer in both cases was to have the wheels balanced on the car instead of taking them off to do them.

Anything like this , I always start where the car touches the road, I don't doubt your tyres have been checked, but have they been checked for oval ? ? oval tyres can still be balanced, but can also cause a judder at speed, swap some front wheels and tyres from another vehicle and test,, or swap front to back? worth a try !! Fitzy cheers i will try it and let you know >>> Help, i have a 2.0 dturbo hdi and i am getting steering judder at about >>> 70mph [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >worth a try !! >Fitzy i HAVE HAD THE FRONT TYRES SWAPPED WITH THE REAR AND HAD THEM ALL BALANCED AGAIN, THIS HAS MADE A SLIGHT IMPROVMENT BUT THE STEERING JUDDER ALTHOUGH NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE IS STILL PRESENT ANY MORE IDEAS CAUSE I AM FRESH OUT......... ............. >cheers i will try it and let you know > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >>worth a try !! >>Fitzy Check track rod ends,,, a slight imbalance in a tyre can be exaggerated by a warn T.R End I would still go for the tyres though,,,,, By moving them around the car ,there is a slight improvement, is it possible you have two defective tyres ? you need to eliminate the tyres completely, by swapping the wheels from a car that has no problem, I know I am going on about the tyres, but I don't think we have 100% certainty yet, and I cant move on until I am satisfied,, Sorry mate HTH Fitzy >i HAVE HAD THE FRONT TYRES SWAPPED WITH THE REAR AND HAD THEM ALL BALANCED > AGAIN, THIS HAS MADE A SLIGHT IMPROVMENT BUT THE STEERING JUDDER ALTHOUGH [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >>>worth a try !! >>>Fitzy I had just the same problem - took the car back three times for rebalancing - goes away after a while but came back on second set of new tyres - I'm now on my secong 307 and not looking forward to replacing the tyres Good luck Andy > i HAVE HAD THE FRONT TYRES SWAPPED WITH THE REAR AND HAD THEM ALL BALANCED > AGAIN, THIS HAS MADE A SLIGHT IMPROVMENT BUT THE STEERING JUDDER ALTHOUGH NOT [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >>worth a try !! > >>Fitzy Are they original alloys on there? Or aftermarket ones? I would definitely look at whether the hub is snug with the diameter of the central bore of the alloy wheel. Or are you using spacers with for example Ford Alloys? Alloy wheels (or spacers) can come as 67mm or 73mm sizes. Peugeots have a 65.2mm hub - therefore you get plastic or metal SPIGOT RINGS (or O ring) to compensate for the gap. The reason there must be no gap is the wheels are HUB CENTRIC and apart from wobble/vibration you risk shearing off the bolts and the consequences of this. There are some on ebay for £10 delivered. ----------------- Otherwise is the steering rack in good order? ----------------- > > i HAVE HAD THE FRONT TYRES SWAPPED WITH THE REAR AND HAD THEM ALL BALANCED > > AGAIN, THIS HAS MADE A SLIGHT IMPROVMENT BUT THE STEERING JUDDER ALTHOUGH > NOT > > AS BAD AS BEFORE IS STILL PRESENT ANY MORE IDEAS CAUSE I AM FRESH > OUT......... nope they are original peugeot alloys, the garage that i normally take my cars too have had a good look and can't find any wear anywhere, also had the alloys checked and as far as can tell there is nothing wrong with them so i am in the process of changing the tyres. >Are they original alloys on there?
