Wobble blocks !

Post by S3_Oj »

So I’ve heard a few people asking about the rear wheel wobble after lowering , and I’ve heard some people try wobble blocks!!
I have just made my own and fitted to the van and I can say that it hasn’t full stopped the wheel wobble but it’s 100% helped. Image

Neat solution.

I'm probably just going to buy some off the shelf (ebay) round steel tube for mine, closest I can find to what Mike used is 22mm OD and 14mm ID, only 4mm wall so a fair bit thinner but should still help a bit. I guess the main thing is to get it done up nice and tight to tie the two sides of the hanger together.

Hi Guys

This is what im fixing as wobble blocks.
Ordered and cut the thick steel tube. Ordered bolts/nuts/washers off ebay.
Hope it reduces some. If not can always add 2 more in a different hole? Image

@Gazmingo Did these work well for you? If so what sizes of pipe etc did you use? I'm planning on trying to make my own. Thanks.

Orders some today.

Had the van lowered a couple of weeks ago and wobble is terrible and then works it way out.

Hope the blocks sort it

I run Darkside wobble blocks top and bottom of the leaf spring (2 each side) poly bushes and the wobble is still shocking in my opinion. Worse thing about a lowered Caddy

Still not got round to putting anything on mine, I drive it like i stole it and to be honest i still don't know what the wobble is they are supposed to stop!

On my old 1.9 mk3 that wasn't lowered in wind it sometimes used to sort of feel like it was jerking around the road at higher speeds on the motorway, would that be the wobble you all refer to?
