I have a vibration that appears at 80+mph.I have had the gearbox rebuilt, propshaft rebuilt, brakes overhauled , car checked on ramps by Joolz etc.... Possibly could be bent spider or two. Joolz recommended that I ask if any kind person has a spare set of different wheels I could try for an hour on the motorway before I spend more money to find a cure. I live in Chester so anywhere in north west area I would consider to travel . THANKS.

Mine will be up at Joolz in a few weeks (just waiting for Andy to finish the 4.7 upgrade) he will need it for a week I guess so you are welcome to try my 18" SP12's if you like?

Just no burn outs ok? wink

Thanks very much for the offer . I could drive up and ask Joolz to swap them over. I only need to try the car on the by-pass near to him for ten mins . I can tell straight away if the car does not vibrate any more. Joolz can drive my car then wheels can be swapped back so ican drive home .

If you fancy a bit of a drive I have a set of 4 perfect spiders you can try with new rubber on them....

Mates car has had the same issue, great at low speed, as soon as it got up to 80, judder and vibrations through steering wheel. Me thinks it's likely to not be wheels and more likely you will want to look at your steering rack.

No problem, just get in touch with Joolz, I'm hoping to collect mine next weekend, I'll have it run in and up to him a week after that smile
