Unbalanced wheels would be my first guess.

Ive got a rattling head lining and a mysterious rattling wich sounds like its coming from the wing...?

Any ideas..and how easy is it to re-fit the head lining please..?

[Paul Laing]

Could be the wheels, or maybe the suspension???

[SkyJawa]

I'd say wheel balancing mate.

Although how you explain they are wobbling at 120+ could be a bit tricky ;) Just say 80 ;)

[toyotasuprauk]

Defiantly sounds like a slightly imbalanced wheel hence why it only happens at very high speed!

[FaithStalker]

get a proper 4wheel align done and balance from a good
tyre place - cured all my handling problems

Cheers everyone I'll get it checked out...Thanks for ya advice, just started happening almost over night.

Have you got them stick on wheel weights Green??
I had no end of problems on one car with them coming off all the time (mind that was at kwik fit in my younger years)

If it's a wheel balancing thang then it's setting up a harmonic at a certain RPM which means it will actually stop vibrating at some point beyond 120 if you are willing to try that out :)

mine wobbles like crazy at 90mph....so at last meet what convoy speed did we choose to do about a average of about 91 mph:blink:

but i know i flat spotted tyres where i locked up, dont matter though as new ones going on soon

If its through the steering wheel then it'll probably be balancing mate. I would do all 4 wheels first before you shelve out for expensive wheel alignment. I had the same thing at 70-90mph and it went away when I had em balanced for £25.

I know mine has started to show symptoms of the "the Rear Hatch rattle problem" ...but as long as i know its fixeable..it doesnt matter :)

As long as it doesnt knock the ash of your joint while resting your hand on the wheel, you havent really got a great concern :p
