Default bad vibration on my escos

just wondering if any one can help, i have got a bad vibration on the steering wheel, it only happens at about 55mph then it goes off at about 65 mph, i have had the wheels balanced at two different places so i don,t think it is that and don,t think its the disc,s either,


cheers tony

yes, couple of other things to check/try putting the front wheels on the back and check it then and have you got the spigot rings on the inside of the wheels as these DO help centralise the wheels to the hubs?

try tightening the sub frame bolts also! infact just go round all the mountings, like bell housing/gearbox mounts bolts etc!
