Ian C Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Unbalanced wheels would be my first guess. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Could be the wheels, or maybe the suspension??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'd say wheel balancing mate. Although how you explain they are wobbling at 120+ could be a bit tricky Just say 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Defiantly sounds like a slightly imbalanced wheel hence why it only happens at very high speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithStalker Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 get a proper 4wheel align done and balance from a good tyre place - cured all my handling problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_TC Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 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.
