Vibration through steering wheel

[purpleliability]

Hi all

Pretty much ever since I have had my Cerbera (4 1/2 years), I have had a vibration through the steering wheel at speed. I've had :

Spiders which were replaced with SP12's (no change)

2 sets of tyres on the SP12 and rebalances each time (different places).

Ball joints replaced.

Nitrons refurbed.

Wheel bearings replaced.

ARB drop links replaced.

Drag link bushes replaced.

Anything else you can think of/point me in the direction of? Ta!

Have you tried getting the roads resurfaced?

Discs?

I had this recently and traced it to the steering arm,i.e the arm that screws into the end of the steering rack, there is a joint this end which had play in it( the other end has a ball-joint in it).I replaced the whole arm and it was fine.
To check it jack the wheel up off the ground and check to see if there is any side to side play in the wheel. The joint I'm talking about is inside the gaitor on the steering rack.

Thanks chaps

Nice one Roberty, I'll have a go at that!

Scotty, yup, has new discs too.

Esso, thanks mate I'll have a look at that. Where did you get the replacement from?

The last time I had a problem with vibration through the steering wheel, I tracked it down to a slightly bent wheel, due to a pothole.
