Rich_Rolla Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 When I first got my new rims on my car my front end used to jump all over the place. It's stopped, don't know why but I guess it has something to do with the tires being worn in? Quote
ke30dude Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Maybe your new tyres are a lot stickier (softer rubber) than your old ones. I had this on my vk comodore when I got my P's. Woolworths actually sell a fix for this problem its called Homebrand burnout in a bottle (motor oil) Quote
philbey Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 It's called axle tramp, it happens because the torque through your rear wheels tries to wind the leaf spring up like a clock spring, then when it loads up it unloads again creating the shuddering feeling. You can make anti tramp bars for them quite easily, just look it up on google. The reason its happening is because the new tyres grip the road much better when trying to do burnouts and thus you get more reaction torque. Quote
Rolla Boy Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Throw on some stockies and start in some water :jamie: :yes: :bash: ... Quote

The reason its happening is because the new tyres grip the road much better when trying to do burnouts and thus you get more reaction torque. Anti tramp bars are also called "cal-trac" bars. I got work to make me up some you bolts a bit longer so i can mount a plate under the shocker plate for this exact reason. Quote

rundell Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 a 3k holds stand stills:O what i did with my ke55 was unplug my window sprayers and put longer piepes ran them under my car and hooked them to the wheels arch so when i spray my window sprayers it would spray oil on my back tyres blew a stock tyre with it haha.

Yes i thought of that.. diesel/oil squrtas thats what i call them but don't you get oil all up the side of your car???? i have a mate that had them on a bluebird and he had to clean his car all most every day coz the diesel/oil just went every were.

Redwarf Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 This is getting into the realms of illegality. Therefore the board does not condone this activity. If you want to keep the thread,I'd be steering the conversation away from squirters. There won't be a second warning. Quote
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Wouldnt doing burnouts be classed as illegal aswell redwarf? So its not really getting into the realms of illegality, its just adding to the severity of the illegality IMO. Quote
Redwarf Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 On the road, yes. On private property or at a rock ape convention (burnout comp) no. As they haven't implicitely stated where they have been occuring, it may stay. I'm still watching carefully though. Quote
SLO-030 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 I bought a couple of window washer resivours and pumps intending to fit them in the boot and have them spray washing detergent onto the wheels (for use on a mates PRIVATE PROPETY) Wont dirty your car like oil/diesel. Back to the caltrac bars, does anyone know how far apart the you-bolts are on a ke30. I know the you-bolts themselves are 2.25 inches wide, but need to know how far they are apart so i can make the plates for the caltracs. (sorry, may be a tad off topic) Quote
