I took the chim for a good run today, I seem to be getting a vibration from the front at speed. Where do I start to track down the cause? Wishbone bushes, roll bar, drop links?
I don't think it's the wheels/tyres.

Check the wheel nuts for security and the tyres don't have any defects or are under inflated and get balance checked as suggested already wink

I had an horrendous clonk from the front of the car, felt the impact close to my feet, and the car started to vibrate.........took it straight to my TVR guy, who checked it over, found nothing, then spotted the clean patch where a stick-on 30 gram wheel weight had flown off at 60 mph.

Probably as above but could also be propshaft. Don't know why it would suddenly go out of balance though unless joint failing.

It only seems to be at 0.9 Leptons +
Its going in for an MOT in a couple of weeks so I will get Fernies to look at it. It did have the gearbox out (a short while ago) so the propshaft could be an issue.

thanks chaps.
