have you had a look at the propshaft centre bearing support ?

[scottambrose]

ok thanks im going to double check the wheels and tyres, i had them checked by 2 garages and both said were ok but il double check myself. hopefully i dont have 3 buckled wheels. il also check the prop support and bearings.

Let us know how you get on. ESP if it's prop related.

Toik it for long drive today and made some observations at 55mph the steering wheel visably shakes then it goes until 65ish and then theres slight vibration through the car which gets worse until about 85 if I bang it in neutral and coast is still there the vibration is insonsistant in that,sometimes at 70 its fine then a mile,later its,there

At any point could this be described as an osolation, or even a wobble ? As opposed to a vibration. Although its similar.
Slightly slower frequency than a vibration. Less "sharp", like someone's pulling the steering left right at about half an inch at a time. Like a tank slapper on a bike. Can happen at any speed. ..? The over riding sensation is a left right left right etc rather than up and down of a wheel balance issue.

The steering sometimes feels like it was the following the camber in the road the feeling through the seat is definatly a vibration but the steering.wheel feels like a pull at liwer speed

Judt spun up the front wheel and when u look at the bottom of spring cup on tje front shock the distance between thr top of tyre and the cup flucuates as if the wheels moving up and down or that the tyres not round

You need to look at the inside edge of the rim too, to see if the rim is making the tyre move, or it's the tyre alone.

had the exact same problem on our mv6 to..only the speed it happened was between 70 and 85 
all four wheels balanced,fronts to back and backs to front..turned out one of the tyres was out of shape. Problem now cured and running like a dream

[scottambrose]

Checked all 4 wheels and the inside of the rims looks good but the tyre seems to up and down especially visable on the front ones
