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? -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
