Hey guys, hoping someone can point me in the right direction or put my mind at rest.
For the past few weeks I’ve noticed a slight (kind of intermittent) vibration at higher speeds. When I sit at any speed under 70mph it is definitely not there or noticeable. Once I’m at 70mph it’s very mild and maybe not even there at all.
But over 80mph (lets say theoretically if I was ever doing that speed) the vibration is there. It’s not terrible, but I can definitely feel it. My passenger can’t even notice it and it does not make the car drive any different, it doesn’t alarm me or feel in any way unsafe.
Furthermore, I have just had the MOT carried out and it passed first time, not even an advisory.
The wheels have been recently refurbished and powder coated professionally, the balance has been double checked, the alignment is fine and there is a set of 4 new Goodyears on it. I can’t see how it can possibly be the alloy or the tyres.
This vibration only happens at about 80mph+ and it goes away when coasting, accelerating a reasonable amount and it does not happen when braking. It basically ONLY happens when you’re keeping the car (or the cruise control) at a steady speed with minimal throttle input. VERY STRANGE...
Before anyone says to simply only drive at 70, the car should not be vibrating at any speed. It did not do this before and now that it’s doing it, there must be a reason.
Hope someone can help me out
