Might need rim/hub centre caps (these sit on the back of the rim and on the wheel hub) or On car balance done may be required..

Alignment .?

my allighnement is a little off , i need to get that done up when i have time. but i dont think its allighnment problem. as my fd2 civic allighnment is off as well , but no shaking poblem on that car.

or wheels not balance properly

when i went to change tyres like 2 months ago , pretty sure beau repairs would of had it balanced it properly for me. unless they did a dodgey balancing job ???

my front wheels dont have rim centre caps , well , 3/4 didnt have caps.

Wheel balances and alignments are my bet. What do your wheel alignment report say?

There are a lot of alignment variables, just because one car is "out of alignment" doesn't mean it will behave exactly the same as another one. A car with excessive but even toe-out will feel different to one with excessive but even toe-in, and both will be completely different to one with mis-matched alignments left to right.

Did these rims come with hub centric rings?

The ring is located inside the rim, which holds it in place or aligns it to your hub to stop vibration .

Have you had a full wheel alignment with all wheel balance checked?

I had a camry many moons ago and went through the same thing, turned out to be the brake rotors were badly warped and this was the cause after trying alignments/balancing etc.

Beaurepairs? They do anything to take you for a ride and your money. Could also be a damaged wheel.

I have the same problem right now on my 2007 Toyota Aurion Sportivo SX6.

I had stocks on my Aurion previously and got sick of them soo decided to get a set of 20's. Everything was fine upon fitting my 20's, tested them out and seemed fine.

Although i did notice a very slight shaking through the wheel between 90 - 100km which i didn't have with my stocks. My Aurion was also pulling to the left a fair bit, but i had that same problem with my stocks.

So i decided that it was time to get all four wheels balanced and aligned, i called around and at the time Kmart Tyre and Auto was the cheapest so i decided to go with them.

Had the wheels balanced and aligned and picked my Aurion up 2 hours later. Was driving my Aurion home and everything felt good...i have a pretty decent Focal Sound System soo had the music blasting on the way home.

Had the kids in the car the next day soo i had my subs turned off and music down when i noticed coming from my front right wheel, there was a ticking sound.

Anyway to cut an extremely long story short i took her back to Kmart Tyre and Auto and they continued to tell me it was because of the stones in my tread.

Had them take all the stones out, drove my Aurion home and still making ticking. Called em up and they said oh yeah it's probably just stones as i have a gravel drive way.

Was on my way home from work when i heard the ticking louder than ever and then something shot off my wheel and came under the chassis of my car, after this my steering started to shake at 90-100km again.

Had a look when i got home and was missing a wheel weight. Called Kmart Tyre and Auto and they said bring your car in and we will re-balance the wheels.

They did that, i got my car back and now i have an extremely bad shaking between 100-110km which i never had before taking her to Kmart Tyre and Auto **** GREAT!

Am taking my Aurion back to them tomorrow and if they can't fix the problem than car is going to BOB JANE T MART who is actually cheaper by $20.00!

Check brakes for any damage, but assuming the wobble wasnt there before, your wheels need a full alignment. Most wheel shops will do it for 30-40 bucks

Not meant to have two different sets of wheels on. Your car is not set up for that combination. Go back to the original rim. Sorry that is all i could advise to you.

There's nothing wrong with having different size tyres/wheels front-to-rear, unless you have a 4WD car. As long as each the tyres on each axle are the same (ie front left is the same as front right) it's fine.

Staggered widths/offsets are more common (and more purposeful) on RWD cars, but it wouldn't cause vibration or steering problems on a FWD (handling might not be perfect though).

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
