Had the alignment given a quick check and tire balance checked. I am picking up a vibration right at about 65mph. Road surface plays into the equation as well with some surfaces and the vibration shifting to 60 or 70. A hard steady side wind will also cause the vibration at lower speeds as well. The vibration is felt in the steering wheel. I have just done checks of everything under the front but nothing is sticking out. My main suspicion is ball joints maybe just getting to the wear points. Any comments? jimt |
