Steering vibration Options

[Biggles]

Hi All

Weird one this.

My car has been vibrating for a few months now, around 60mph, but having now driven it a while there is a steering wheel vibration which is intermittent. It vibrates for about 10 to 15 seconds then goes away for same time, then comes back. Happens between 60 and 90, steady throttle on same road surface - very odd. Any ideas? Both front wheels have been balanced recently but that wouldn’t explain it coming and going...

It’s a 70 car with 3.2 Carrera front end if that makes any difference, but can’t see how it could.

Could be the centering of the wheels on the hubs. I know it sounds weird but it happened to me decades ago and what I learned was you need to run the wheel bolts in finger tight and then spin and adjust the wheel to allow the wheel to center itself on the hub, then tighten the bolts to 90 ft pd in a star or x pattern depending on hub.
