Title: Vibrating Ford Galaxy
Post by: 05omegav6 on 20 March 2011, 20:59:07

Chap at work has an '06 mk2 galaxy tdi. The problem is:

Noticeable vibration from the nearside front wheel when accelerating through 50 - 60.

All four tyres have been replaced and balanced, different brands front and back, and also wheels have been swapped front to back, no difference. :-/

No obvious play from the wheel bearings or drive shafts either, and no vibration when braking. :-/

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Al. :y

Yes, and when they get really bad they take out the starter motor!
