Hi,

Ive noticed this since i drove the car back from when i bought it, at 70Mph ish you will feel a slight judder through the steering wheels and you can hear it aswell like something out of balance almost.

At 80-90mph it goes, then at high speeds 100+ it returns and gets worse and worse till cars max speed, the wheels judder / wobble quite a lot.

I would expect the car to have no wheel wobble even at top speed.


Car has been tracked, its had the wheels balanced and its been checked over by craig.

No play in any bushes / ball joints.

Slight play (but not excessive), in both driveshafts.

What else can i check?

I had a knackard ball joint which caused a "wobble"

Stan checked for play, there wasnt any.

Just been looking under my car again, looks like its had a replacement gearbox from an RT?

Theres a trianglular gap where i can stick my finger in touch the flywheel lol?
