Bought my FL2 in feb. Was always some vibration in the steering wheel at speed. Finally decided to get it balanced and alignment on Friday. Doesn’t seem to have fixed the vibration (hard to tell as it’s anecdotal but may have got worse). You guys think this could be that the balance was not done well or are there other issues that could lead to this? Cheers

Shockers or tyres with flat spots ?

Shockers ?

Shock absorbers

Try swapping tyres front to back. That should eliminate balance and tyre deformation issues. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Did they balance all 4 wheels ? As out of balance rears can cause vibration.

presumably, i didnt watch but that was the request and what was charged for.

Alignment problems are a nightmare. I'd check up on what equipment they used to do the alignment. A lot of garages don't have the correct gear to properly undertake 4 wheel drive alignment, or the training to use what they have properly. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018
