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.

I have found that the problem is created by having the front suspension set too low.

Try raising the front end a small amount.

yes low and tire balance and make sure that there is no play in the steering. Nothing to do with the rear
