Timmons Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi CaR50 owners A friend of mine has a 98 R50 with 181,xxx thousand miles on it and is experiencing a shudder between 45 and 50mph. Does anyone have any experience with something like this happen? Yep, is he running new wheels that are lug centric or wheel adapters? Most likely it's still wheel balance though. It was for me and also you need to make sure who ever is installing the wheel adapters to make sure they are torqued proper like around 108 foot lbs. You also need to make sure that the lug centric wheel is installed correctly or you will get a vibration between 40-45 or 45-50. These were my experiences which now have been resolved.

Boosted Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have the same feeling in my stock '96 with 127k on it..I figure it's the driveshaft U-joints, not sure yet. It isn't too bad though so I'm not worked up about it yet LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 what's vibrating? does it get worse or better with speed? probably balance. pin plating during the balance does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostNcrRanger Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 After some more conversation i got him to check his ATF- It's brown. his transmission was shuddering,likely because it's been roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
