The Jimny Wobble

If you have the Suzuki 3 spoke alloys then these are another wobble point.
There are many discussions on here regarding wheel wobble.

Welcome to bigjimny.

Not hijacking the thread but I have never head of the problem with the 3 spoke alloys - we have a virtually brand new set with no tyres which we intended to fit on at some point (obviously after we have fitted tyres ) but then we bought some others; post face lift 5 spokes which aren't in such good condition. My gut feeling was to go with the better condition 3 spokes but are you suggesting I might be bettter refurbing the 5 spokes then fitting them? All opinions welcome can start another thread if requiredatb

I think its if you fit bigger tyres to the three spokes

Bit of interesting reading on the alloy wheel problem.

Hmmmm, thanks for that Supergaz, looks like we might be into refurbing 5 spokes then

I had a similar problem with mine kingpins done made it better but didn't cure it however I noticed that the tyre had worn unevenly so swapped it for the unused spare wobble disappeared, so could have been the rim, tyre or balance on top of the kingpin.

I did have uneven wear on the front o/side tyre (Bridgestone Duelers) - I've had all the tyres replaced today with Goodyear Wrangler ATR's. While the front was up in the air, I could not feel any horizontal play - I could not feel any vertical play in the o/side wheel (that's just had the King Pins replaced) - But there was vertical play (a couple of mm) on the n/side wheel. So that has to be my first investigation, probably King Pins!

I'll keep you updated!
