steering vibration
« on: 22 November 2010, 19:19 »
Probably simple one for you lot..

From between about 50 mph to 70 mph, i get vibration through steering wheel.

Wheel balancing / tracking / wheel alignment?

What to try 1st, replaced bushes in wishbones so i know it isnt that..

different tracking places give different results.. the best place near me is £70 AMD Essex and also Elite tyres and they are both spot on yet ive had it done at normal garages and not got decent results just a heads up...
