| Vibration at higher speed..... |
|
Can anyone help.
I get a vibration at about 70 which is becoming a pain.
I have had the car checked and a track rod end replaced but no joy.
I have also had balancing done ( although they didn't do the 4 wheels ).
Could it be the alignment?
I have general grabber at2's on the wheels.
Any thoughts??? I love my LDR3...

My first thought would be balance, but where do you get the vibration from?
Is it through the steering wheel?
One thing it could be is vibration that can be caused from the gearbox do your revs surge? Have you got an auto box? D3 HSE MY05 Auto

Vibration is mainly body not so much through steering.
It's an auto but why would they only balance two front wheels. Sorry not to genned up on these kind of things. I love my LDR3...

Get the rears balanced as well, sometimes an out
of balance rear can put a vibration though the floor of the car.
Front wheels out of balance usually comes through the steering wheel Pete

If track rod end is replaced should alignment be done as well.
Thanks. I love my LDR3...

I replaced mine yesterday (put the new one in as accurately as i could)
and had a wheel alignment done straight after.
The w/a man said it was toeing in 8mm.
So yes, get a W/A done Pete

I had loads of vibration through the steering wheel at 70mph - had the wheel alignment done and lower front suspension bushes replaced and all gone.

Hi
Got the balancing done on back two on Saturday and made a big difference.
Noticed I had uneven wear on inner from wheels so am booking in for an alignment to hopefully get that sorted.
Cheers I love my LDR3...
