[Healeys] BN1/2 Scuttle Shake

[llennep at verizon.net]

Bob,
 
I have probably posted this before and forgive me if I have.  But I found much of my "shake rattle and roll" was eliminated by balancing the brake drums.  Especially a concern with 4 on your 100.  Find a bubble balancer (borrowed one from my mechanic) and some weights  and you should be able to do it yourself.  Made a big difference on my BJ8!!!!!!

I'm well familiar with the (in)famous 'scuttle shake' in the 6-cyl cars; do the 4-cyl cars suffer from this as well? Our BN2 has a bit at the typical speeds--55-60MPH--but it's not as bad as my BJ8's. My wheels are not especially true and I'm wondering if I can expect the shake to diminish or even go away entirely if I can find someone to true them.



TIA,

Bob
