Technical Buying Advice

[ClamChowder]

Hello all,

I just wanted to ask: do all Cinq sporting's get shocking vibes through the steering at 70-85mph? I am trying to buy one and every one I've driven seems to do it (though some worse than others obviously).

If it's not a design feature then is there a way to stop it and if so how much does it cost?

I have read something else somewhere, I think it was on this site, about 'speed wobble' at motorway speeds. I was wondering if this was it. If it's just that the wheels/tracking needs doing then that's fine. It seems a bit of a coincidence that the three cars I have driven thus far all suffer from varying degrees of the same problem.

I guess they must be prone to it.

What I really need to know is; is it possible to make it go away. I might have to re-evaluate by post-bike strategy if you can't drive a Cinq at over seventy with out boxing gloves on!

This happened to my sei, the alloys wasn't flush to the wheel hubs. Jack up each side and shake the wheel to see if it moves or not?

Shouldn't shake at all, may be a bent wheel or ruined tyre. Try balancing first.
