1. [TR] Wheel Shimmy (score: 1)

As a Morgan owner I lurk on the TR list for information regarding the TR engines we share. A common issue with many Morgan owners is a problem with front wheel shimmy. Since many TR's use the same 16

Note : 72 spoke wire wheels are new and true. Balance done on the newest Hunter balancing machine. Pardon me for asking but who determined "true". I put new wires on my TR6 and in spite of three trip

Are they Dayton or Dunlop wheels? What method was used to mount them on the wheel-balance machine? -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint Paul Minnesota USA 1962 Triumph TR4 CT2846L, 1992 Saturn SL2, 1993 S

Bob, I was talking with a few Morgan owners when this topic came up. According to them, it is an intrinsic Morgan issue having to do with the suspension and frame and no amount of wheel balancing wil

A very good point. Another, less severe approach is to see exactly how they mount the wheels on the machine. The wheels MUST be gripped by tapered cones with the same taper and resting on the same s

I assume that the Morgan owners all have wire wheels? Accelerating, although it may seem counterintuitive, actually makes sense. Decelerating may/probably/will have the same effect. I will bet that t

Another good question to ask is how much runout do the wheels have, in 2 different axes. They are never just "true", there is always some runout, both radial and lateral, and if your shop doesn't kno

This would seem to be something that a skilled machinist could readily make. I have a drawing of the idea (came with my wire wheels) and, of course, a wheel. Someone in our club has a significant oth

Before you go having them custom-machined, might be worth asking Hunter (or whoever made your local shop's machine) if they offer suitable cones. Another possibility would be to use one of the adapt

I can attest to the fact that hubs and brake rotors can be out of balance. I don't have wire wheels -- I started out with steel and graduated to alloy. I chased a 60 MPH shimmy for a long time, throu
