Mine used to do that, turned out to just be a wheel balance issue.

Im no expert, but going on the fronts are connected to your steering wheel id say fronts..

May not be the prob at all just going on previous issue ive had :)

:dearme: No matey, as the JRP Jedi Master suggests, it sounds like a wheel balance issue.

Also check your wheel bolts & tyre pressures.

My VAG Clio had a vibration in the steering on the way home from a French car day one year & once I'd tightened the wheel bolts the issue went :cartman:

If your wheel came off, check its not slightly bent...:)

front imbalance is felt in the wheel, rear through the ar5e of your seat.. warped hub can cause a shake too, nissan 350z kept coming back saying it shakes while at high speeds so got a dti gauge on it..

normally just a tyre but be sure there not chumps as weights should be fitted in one place on each side of the rim, not 2 or 3 different places, unless there hiding them behind the spokes like i do.. the weightless looks a good one:smokin:
