Hi All

Hi Steve,
Wonder if it is tyre/wheel related...maybe lost a weight off one of them??
Might be worth getting a tyre shop to check the balance, before having the suspension levers and tracking/geo looked at...
Regards,
Enzo.

Good suggestion Enz, had new tyres on the back last week so they are all balanced, but will get the fronts checked to rule out.

My car was suffering from vibrations at 60mph+ so I wondered the same and took the car into my tyre place. The main issue seemed to be the amount of crud which had found its way into the inside of the wheels (mainly the front) despite my best efforts when jet washing my car. This was removed, and the wheels rebalanced and the issue went away.

From recent personal experience this would make me wonder about something on one side of the front steering - like suspension arm balljoints, track rod end balljoints, antirollbar link. I would have these all checked for play and keep a close eye on those nice new tyres for uneven wear. Would be so gutting to throw them away after failing MOT with 7mm tread in the middle but 1mm on the inner shoulder. He said bitterly...
