[Healeys] BN1/2 Scuttle Shake

[BJ8Healeys]

Bob, my BJ8 had the front end shake until Allen Hendrix at Hendrix Wire Wheel trued my wheels, shaved the tires to round, and balanced them.  No shake now at any speed and the change in the ride and comfort was truly remarkable.

I also did the “Bill Bolton Anti-Scuttle Shake Modification” to my firewall when I had the engine out, but I think it is the wheel work that does more to get rid of the shake.

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
