Title: Shakey brakey
Post by janspeed on Jul 4^th, 2005, 11:17pm

???
Hi guys.
Under light braking the front wheels shake, i apply more pressure and it stops?
Are the brake disc`s warped or is it something else?

Oh yeh the wheels that are on it at the mo are TSW Stealth alloys with 195/65/15`s on.
I know that these wheels and tyre`s are the wrong size, the outside edge of the l/h front tyre is wearing and the right is going too. I also think the offset is wrong for the Scorp as the tyre sticks out past the front wing by about 1/2 inch maybe an inch.
That why as soon as, i`m changing the wheels to multi spokers(original Ford)

i there

size wise, this is the correct size for 15" wheels. re the shake, check discs and/or front wishbone bushes.

Hi Scorpio_man.
I will check the disc`s and front bushes, cheers.
The wheels look ok, the offset does increase the track of the car, it goes round corners like its on rails, even for an estate. But the wheels stick out past the arches
But i`ll still change them for the multi spokes cos they look good, and i can get more rubber down on the road.
