Thanks guys!

 

Hey all. I've got a weird issue. I installed all new steering components a while back. The steering was a bit beefier and thicker which I paid no attention to really. I installed new tires around the same time. I am getting knocking noise when turning left, turns out an inside wheel weight is hitting the thicker steering rod and grinding down the rod and weight.

I think the most cost effective solution is wheel spacers. I've heard mixed reviews about using them though. I've got the tires on stock rims and would rather not have to buy new rims with better back spacing and then pay to get the tires mounted and balanced again. Anyone have any input on how to go?

 

Just buy new wheels. Spacers are a pain in the dick. I have an axle in my barn with one wheel still attached after one of the well nuts broke free. Not to mention you need to be prudent about retorquing them. You could probably find a set of wheels on cl.

 

Re balance the wheels. Tell them to use stick on weights.

 

Get rid of the wheel weights and put in some ballance beads

 

Thanks for the input all! I'll see if any shops in my area do balancing beads. I've heard of them before

 

is it really as easy as pouring the right amount of airsoft bbs in? a shop butchered the balancing on mine

 

I forgot how much I put in but search for balance beads on this forum and it will tell you how much to add for your size tires and I used the real beads not airsoft you guys are going to love them no longer have to worry about unbalanced tires. I've been using them for years with no problems I can air down to 10 psi when I go offroad and air back up to 35 psi for the street with no balance issue of any kind. Google balance bead chart I just found a good site for them

 

Go to a semi tire repair shop they carry the real beads not airsoft

 

sweet, thanks ill definitely get some

 

You'll never look back

 

BRIANHO13 sells them

 

U don't really have to follow what the specs are u can put a lot more in then u need and it will be better then having to little and getting vibes my buddy does 120 mph in his ax and nothing he runs 19.5's and street tires and runs air soft and has never had a problem.
