General Shaking steering! help

[nuvolarossa]

Hi, this is what I found today in my panda...

This morning I was going over some fast mountain roads:devil:
At a point, when I was at 130kmh, I braked and all the front right wheel was shaking hard, but really hard (at the point I was thinking that I was loosing the wheel)... so I stopped the car. I have hit the tyre with my foot and it was making a kind of metallic echo, like something loose. This only the right wheel.

So I took the car at home, and removed the wheels. The right rim was very hot, even the bolts, and the left was cold. why?

I found this image on this forum:

I have 1 or 2 millimeters of play where "track rod end" meet #1 item in the picture in every wheel. I can feel it shaking the wheel by hand at 9 and 3 of clock positions.

It's normal?

What other can be? Brakes are fines and shocks are minus than 1 year old.


sorry for the English

Sounds like one of your brakes is binding if the rim and bolts are hot. Wouldnt like to say about the shaking though, without seeing it all.

This might not be it...but it might...

A while ago as soon as I hit around 35 MPH the car started wobbling and faster than that, it started bouncing around. At low speeds, it felt like the wheel was loose so I checked the nuts. They were fine.

The garage told me to check the tyre and I found the inner wall had split and the tread was all out of line. I changed the tyre and it is OK now.

It did feel as if the wheel was coming off at the time.
