High speed in Finland means 120km/hour = about 75MPH. When driving that speed my Omega vibrates slightly - in a way it did not do earlier. It is quite seldom I ride such roads where this 120km/h is possible. It is not coming from wheels I think as if coming from front I should notice it in steering wheel. And if coming from rear I usually see it also in my AR25 selector. I saw it in the "sun visor" going up and down as it was not locked in mirror side and I felt it in my arse. Cardan shaft? What it can be? 300 000 km behind so almost new...

Wheel balance or track rod end (there are 4 on the Omega).

If you take it past 130km/h does it change?

If better then wheel balance, if worse then TREs

OK DC, but if e.g. front track rod should I feel it in steering wheel? I'll test next time 130-150 if no police men around. I still wonder why not the rubber parts of cardan shaft?

The vibration would be alot heavier and very short lived... ie it might vibrate as it blows apart.

You don't always get a vibration through the steering because the hydraulic assistance acts as a damper.
