Wheel Vibration

by Robs-se » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:54 pm

I'm getting the nasty vibration at 60-70 mph. Tracking is all ok, tyres are at correct pressure and there is no sticking of calipres etc. I know the offset of the wheel isn't quite Vauxhall standard at 35 eta 17/215/45, but i wouldn't have thought this would cause the vibration, maybe just a bit of handling error and scrubbing on the arches.
Would a dodgy wishbone contribute as the passenger side front looks to be a bit lower than the drivers and also scrubs the arches more when going over speed bumps.

Or can anyone think of anything i've missed?

I know it may be an obvious one but have you had the wheel balance checked?

this has been discussed before and it seems to be down to the lower wishbone bushes wearing
