Save me! My s8 has recently developed the shakes that can be felt through the entire car. It typically starts at exactly 71mph and is usually gone by 80.

Tried new wheels, road force balance, replaced worn tie rods, and one drive shaft. Everything's improved it but nothing's eliminated it! It also has some feeling of judder when braking (again, not all the time). It has ceramics so doubt they're warped!

What next to try?

Thanks! I've ordered them and will give it a try. I'll have a new car soon!

Well, 8 new suspension arms at the front seems to have done the trick. VIbration free and tightened it right up. Just ticked over 100K so hopefully ready for another 100K or so.

Glad to hear it's sorted. Hope you didn't have to pull the money out of your own pocket.
Yes, I'm a big boy now smile. Still cheaper than a warranty and the hassle etc!
