At slow speeds, feels like the car has a slight wobble through the steering wheel...
I know the alignment needs doing, as the drivers side front and rear are wearing on the inner edge of the tyre, the car did have wishbones done before I got it, but I don't know how well the drop links are...
Could alignment be causing this?? It vibrates at about 65-85mph aswell, sometimes you can drive through it, othertimes it gets worse and you can't...

My money is on mishapen tyres. When they are worn they can develop bulges which you really notice at low speed as well as higher speed vibration. Whip off the front wheels and if nothing obvious put them on the back. If nothing changes its not the wheels/tyres, if it does it probably is.

wheels, tires and wishbones are the #1 group to blame..
if wheels and tires need more then 10 to 15 grams necessary turn the tires around the wheels..
And its more visible when turning the tires around the balance machine ...if also theres is vertical movement tires will need replacing
ie ..assuming wishbones are ok..

The place where I go to get my tyres, say up till 60 front wheels need balancing, after 60 rear wheels need balancing :y
