icemanscold Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 When I go to hit 6th gear on pavement, the front end starts goin all nuts and shakey. I took the freakin rims to my buddies shop and he balanced them, still no change. Anybody got any ideas? Even put new tires on it. Newer front end bearings. Quote
Blue Duece Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 banshees have head shake at high speeds................ you didnt mention it veared ..just shook, so alignments probally cool......a good stabilizer and you can let go of the bars at 80mph....... Quote
99screaminshee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 check ur tierod ends ur a arm bushing and ur ball joints jack the front up and have sum1 hold the bars still and go and try to wiggle each wheel the look to see what is moving causing the vibrations Quote
banshee76179 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 mine to... I think it is probably a combo of things.. tire pressure. the knobbies on the pavement. the speed on the pavement and maybe the 22'' Quote
Proquad101 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Mine used to get a bad shimmey in the front end when I put my fast trekers on it. The only thing I did was get a some mods done to the motor,it made it fast enough for go thru the shimmey just like car that has a shimmey at a certain mph. I have not found anything to make it go away except for the speed. If anybody finds something better let me know. Quote
icemanscold Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Posted March 18, 2004 Before I had all these mods done I never had a problem. Speeds have changed, and I plan of goin back to Milan dragway this year. What kind of front tire do ya recommend? Quote
chris97shee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Maybe it's just cause banshee's are so damn fast. hahaha just kiddin, they are freakin fast though Quote
SICK BOY Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 I went through my whole front end,and still get a high speed front end vibe on pavement. Quote
Nightrider Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Check the toe-in on the front tires,My shimmy went away after I adjusted it .It was a bit off from where it should be.Cured my problem,might cure yours. Quote

If anybody finds something better let me know. try one of these i can let go of my bars pinned in sixth........there 475 bucks....but auto pilot for the shee Quote
87blueshee Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 I know you said you balanced the rims but are one of the rims bent? Mine were bent up front and the front end would jump up and down in 6th. Quote
Sneaky Pete Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 a friend of mine had that problem with a truck (12" of lift). He did something like a stabilizer on the front (the shocks on the tie rods). He said that reduced his problem. Also I drag race a 98 z28 10.82 et. the tires make a real difference on my car. The stock tires had a tendency to follow the bumbs. When I went to skinny's the following went away but the vibration was killing me. I sold those to somebody and got another brand. The vibration was totally gone. That's at 124.23 mph Quote
"thenewguy" Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 put you front end up on blocks so your tire just misses the ground. spin the tire i garentee you that it stops and hits the ground at one point. or your rim is not aligned perfectly on the hub. its one of those. how much play do you have in your steering?
