Title: steering shaking?
Post by: supercharged spaniel on February 21, 2010, 02:27:08 PM
on the motorway.. between 75-80 mph the car steering shakes horribly?  I've had a good look underneath and cant spot anything obvious.  Any ideas where to start?

perhaps but they sometimes just need redoing as the tyres wear.

it seems to be fine until motorway speeds 75-80 and when braking down from 80-75.  Im only a little concerned as I changed wheels recently and took them off. Both the ones I removed and the ones I put back on (the bbs) are doing it. hmmm it seems fine when accelerating, it's more cruising and braking down/slowing past 80-75.  Cv joint you say Rae?

shaking aorund those speeds is nearly always wheels needing balancing in my experience.
