Hi folks,
I have recently finally managed to cure a long standing and mysterious issue with my FN2. But not quite!
I had an issue where the car would shake violently under heavy acceleration mid-to-high revs. I changed all sorts of things, but in the end it ended up being solved by fitting new top mounts.
However, I still get this shake/wobble when cornering at high speed (I live in the Isle of Man, so that’s basically my entire commute). It’s not wheels or tyres as I have changed them many times since this developed, including last Friday. It’s also not an engine running issue (pulls and performs normally). I have replaced lower arm trailing bushes, arb links, top mounts and have overhauled and replaced the brakes several times. There is no play in the ball joint.
The shake does not make a noise, it just shakes the front of the car, so much so that it affects its overall cornering ability at or near the limit of adhesion. But it doesn’t do it on every fast corner, accute flat out corners with less body movement seem to trigger it.
If anyone has a clue, I will kiss them, as I’m all out of ideas.
Many thanks for your time
