My steering wheel is vibrating between 70 and 80. I guessed it was just wheel imballance but i got the fronts ballanced the other day and its still not gone away.

Seems alot worse on certain road surfaces. Any one see another reason for this?? Driveshafts seem ok and front suspension is pretty much new. Maybe the dude at the garage somehow messed it up?

Thought i would consult the guru board that is williamsclio. :D

Is it always on a certain road? or a certain road surface? I get bad vibration on just one particular road because they've laid it with some weird, small ridges in I think :roll: :lol:

Try swapping rear wheels with the fronts, see if it goes away.

mostly down to road surfaces at the moment me thinks, tram-lining is becoming a real issue.

Might be wheel bearing.

Mine has started doing this recently, reckon a pothole has knocked some wheel weights off.

I would have said wheel bearing too tbh

Yea it could be a bearing but I had mine 'balanced' when I didnt think I had a problem, and guess what? It vibrated afterwards, so I swapped the wheels, job done.
