24 inch wheels causing steering wheel to shake

[dlouis]

Guys I put some 24 inch rims on my 07 Yukon, Running 295/35/24 Size Tires with no rub what-soever. But when Im driving it causes the steering wheel to shake and rattle. Has anyone experienced this problem...Please help, Im new here...I want a smooth ride, as it catches every bump...Give me some pointers please on how to correct this problem...The tires are brand new also.

balanced the wheels first then it might beyour rotors bearings

it has 36k miles on it, would the rotor be a problem now, and I had them balance and aligned already.

It could be improperly balanced wheels (not car balancing) and/or the need of a hubcentirc rings to help in mount balance!

Hubcentric rings...enlighten me

The correct hub centric rings are important for improper wear on the hubs, but would should not cause the wheel to shake. I have had multiple sets of big rims on different cars, and the first thing I would do if I were you is get the rims re balanced and I also highly recommend an alignment after you get new wheels to compensate for the changed stance and dynamics of the truck.
So get them balanced first, it is easy to throw a weight if they were not put on properly. You should also get the proper hub centric rings while you have it in for the balance(the tires guys will now what you are talking about). And in my opinion you should also get an alignment.

I bet there is one out of balance.

24's are very hard to balance. All the weight is on the diameter of the wheel/tire so very small changes result in larger shakes. Ask them to balalnce the set again and be very precise.

Hub centric rings to take pressure off the lugs, steering stabilizer, rebalance...that's my solution to the misery I lived through!

When you hit your brakes does it shake your truck really bad? If so the hub centric rings will help this.....benn there done that!

balance the wheels.. A buddy of mine had the same problem with his 22s

 

[dlouis]

DW it shakes a little..when I do...I will get those hubcentric rings, but from where? Is there a place online where I can get them?

 

[DwDrummer]

Call the place where you got your wheels from and they be able to hook you up with a set!

 

[mdtahoe]

You need to find a shop with a top of the line balancer ( hunter GSP 9700) That is capable of Road Force Analysis. No wheel and no tire are perfectly round so even if they are balanced they may hop. That machine has the ability to measure that and show you where to match mount them for the most round assembly. Also wheels that big are tricky to balance and you can not use a cheap machine. I would highly suspect they are not balance properly.

ok Ill check this out, anyone know how to get the steering stabilizer?

 

[Modded]

You don't need a steering stabilizer unless you have alternated suspension.
After you get hubcentric rings and properly balance your wheel the car will ride perfect!!

I just got my 26s on and they are fine up until about 70mph, and then i get a shake and vibration. nothing too severe, but somewhat annoying.. Sucks im driving 6 hours tomorrow in it, hopefully nothing gets thrown off.

 

[Modded]

Get some hibcemtrics rings and you'll be fine, may even be able to do it before your trip!

 

[gmw33]

im pretty sure ive already got them, Orange rings between the hub and wheel
