: Since I picked up my 1988 T16S, I've been noticing vibration at reasonably
: high speeds. All seems smooth enough up to around 70mph, but at 80+, it
: feels a little like I'm driving over cobbles. The vibration seems to
: affect the entire car, i.e. it's not just the steering wheel; the whole
: chassis seems to be vibrating.
:
: This evening I eliminated the engine and the transmission; I was getting
: consistent vibration on a smooth road at 80mph, whether I was in fourth of
: fifth gear, and I tried coasting out of gear for a little while, and there
: was no difference. That's except if you're a police officer. In that
: case, the vibration's happening at 70mph, officer. Honest.
:
: Now, I don't exactly know a lot about cars, but I've had the tracking and
: the wheel balancing checked (it was out, but it's fine now) and that didn't
: make a difference, so I'm guessing it's the wheel bearings? Can anyone
: think of anything else it could be? And if it is the wheel bearings, does
: anyone know roughly how much replacements should cost in the UK?
What's the wear like on the tires?
